(LIFENEWS) – It is difficult to imagine how anyone, much less a doctor, could think 6-year-old Emersyn Baker would have been better off dead.
The central Florida girl, who has a bright smile and a joyful personality, is getting ready to start kindergarten this fall. But because she was diagnosed with Down syndrome before birth, her parents had to fight against discrimination and pressure from their doctor – just so their little girl could live.
The Epoch Times recently interviewed Emersyn’s mother, Courtney, about the family’s journey since their story went viral several years ago. Back in 2016, Courtney wrote a letter to her doctor and posted it online, imploring him to change his attitude about children with Down syndrome after he repeatedly pressured her to have an abortion. The letter received thousands of responses and resulted in national news attention.
