In this segment of “Personal Stories,” Kori shares the story of her son, Stanley; a deeply wanted pregnancy that changed course after a 20-week anatomy scan revealed severe fetal cardiac anomalies. She recounts the shock of hearing “incompatible with life,” learning the diagnoses (including hypoplastic left heart syndrome and total anomalous pulmonary veins), and making the decision to end the pregnancy as an act of love and compassionate care. Kori tells us why timely, barrier-free abortion access in Canada mattered to her family’s survival and healing.
