Carole,
I'm sorry about your sister in law's baby. I've talked with a lot of women on pregnancy and termination boards and there seems to be one prevailing thing. The doctors push termination. My friend's water broke at 19 weeks and the first thing her doctor said was "do you want me to induce to finish what nature started?". She was crushed. She didn't listen and found a new doctor. Now she has a 4 week old little girl who is healthy and just about to come home from the hospital (she gave birth at 30 weeks). Maybe your sister can find a prolife doctor in her area? They may fight more for the baby. I'm not an expert on this condition, but I have talked to others and it seems to be a very serious condition. But even if the doctors say "100% fatal" that doesn't mean she has to terminate. I think that adds guilt on top of the grieving. It also gives the baby no chance. As much as the doctors are experienced and educated NONE of them can predict the future!!!!
Here are some sites that may be helpful:

Take care,
Michele
