Are you SERIOUSLY not only trying to dispute this, but even calling me a liar of it? I know you dislike me but this is ridiculous!
Average abortion costs are a few hundred dollars:

If she needed it in the third trimester (not sure when this was detected), it can go as high as $1200.
A vaginal birth with no complications whatsoever (and we know this doesn't apply here, no doubt this baby needed a lot of extra care), runs $6000-$7000, and prenatal care on top of that, which again, no doubt this baby needed a lot of

No contest. The best-case childbirth scenario is 5-6x more expensive than the worst-case abortion scenario. On top of that, I am sure this particular family would want to give him a funeral as well, and the average cost for that is $5000. The cover charge for this benefit concert is $5, so unless this family is massively popular I think its still a net financial loss, I highly doubt they are getting massively wealthy over sharing a few pictures of their son on facebook.
And yeah, of course its easier to rally people around the idea of giving a mother a few hours with her son than it is to rally them around of....helping the mother to kill her son in utero.

What she did seems disturbing to me, but seeing as the infant had no consciousness and thus no rights to violate or feelings to consider, she has a right to do what she wants.The baby was missing part of his brain, he wasn't brainless. Either way, no mother is going to consider the son she loves "just meat". I'd hope that if anyone here were to get in an accident and lose most of their brain with only 8 hours to live, their mother would be right there at their bedside, not going on about "just meat" or whatever. That is how mothers (and fathers) are with their babies. Usually.
Again, this is just a thing you need to have some empathy and humanity to understand. I can't even imagine how painful it must have been for her, but at least now she has that time she spent with him, no matter how brief it was. He was well loved. I am tearing up.
Mary Immaculate, star of the morning
Chosen before the creation began
Chosen to bring for your bridal adorning
Woe to the serpent and rescue to man.
Sinners, we honor your sinless perfection;
Fallen and weak, for your pity we plead;
Grand us the shield of your sovereign protection,
Measure your aid by the depth of our need.
Bend from your throne at the voice of our crying,
Bend to this earth which your footsteps have trod;
Stretch out your arms to us, living and dying,
Mary Immaculate, Mother of God.
