British judge orders disabled 22-week pregnant woman to have abortion
"The woman’s mother, a former midwife, opposes the abortion procedure and told the court that she could take care of the child with the support from the daughter, Sky News reported.
A social worker who works with the woman also said the pregnancy should not be terminated.
But the judge said the woman didn’t have the mental capacity to make her own decisions even it look like she wanted to continue the pregnancy.
“I think she would like to have a baby in the same way she would like to have a nice doll.”
— Justice Nathalie Lieven"
