Losing a child is one of the most heartbreaking experiences a parent can go through. But when one couple had to make the heart-wrenching decision to have an induction abortion after learning their daughter wouldn’t survive outside the womb, they never expected to face such cruel judgment from their own family. At a family gathering, the grieving father had to confront his brother-in-law, who repeatedly called his wife a murderer. The father’s response? Telling his brother-in-law he’s a ‘walking advertisement for abortion.’ But did he go too far?
