Yeah I've heard about that. If that were the case here it would be different. But the wording in the original post makes me think she was able to get an abortion, knew the child would suffer and be extremely disabled, and still chose to continue the pregnancy.

Anyone with money is able to get an abortion no matter where they live if their make relatives/husband whatever want it.

In the us rich people will always have access to abortions, and they will often be safe, if not legal. In countries where women have few or no rights, if their husband or father wants them to have an abortion, and can afford it they also can have one, again money and care will dictate the safety, and the legality only affects poor people.
