Deborah and Lee Dorbert were excited to be giving birth to their second child until they received terrible news. An ultrasound at 24 weeks revealed that if they continued the pregnancy that they would birth a child with no kidneys. Doctors informed the couple that the baby would be stillborn or quickly die and that Deborah was at increased risk from potentially deadly complications. In the past the Dorbert's would have had the option of terminating the pregnancy but a new Florida law that went into effect just a few months before the couple received the horrible news robbed them of that choice.
