Todays society demands physical perfection from all and regards
medical and scientific technologies as saviours to be embraced
whatever the cost. To have a child who has been diagnosed with a
disability is deemed not just unnecessary, but careless and even
immoral. This book tells the courageous stories of women who
continued their pregnancies despite intense pressure from doctors,
family members and social expectations. These women were told they
shouldnt have their babies because of a perceived imperfection in
the child, or because their own disabilities do not fit within the
parameters of what a mother should be. In the face of silent
disapproval and open hostility, they have confronted the stigma of
disability and had their children anyway. Some of the writers tell
of grave misdiagnosis, others of life-changing experiences,
discovering the joy and love in children considered unworthy of
life.
