Jake's parents told us that because the ultrasound predicted that he would be born with problems that the doctor informed them that they could get a late-term abortion in Colorado, the most liberal state in regards to pro-abortion policies.
Abortion laws in the U.S. prior to Roe.
Illegal
Legal in case of rape
Legal in case of danger to woman's health
Legal in case of danger to woman's health, rape or incest, or likely damaged fetus
Legal on request
Jake was going to be, what some would call, a "likely damaged fetus" due to spina bifida. His parents were mortified by the doctor's information and weren't about to terminate their baby because of some physical defect.
Therefore, Jake was born on March 30th, 2013, and lucky we are that he was, because the loss of such a beautiful soul would have been unfortunate, indeed!
