I asked the question because I want a pregnant person to be offered a full suite of care initiatives and not abandoned. This morning I spoke to Mr. Jonathan Irwin, founder of the Jack and Jill Foundation. The foundation provides so much care and we salute them for doing so. I want people to be given options and told that there is some care when they receive the diagnosis, and I want that incorporated in advice given.
