Advertising campaign used her photo for supporting abortion. How this girl lives with a difficult illness

The sensational story of American Natalie Weaver and her special daughter Sophia, caused a lot of controversy in the public.

The birth of a special girl

During Natalie’s pregnancy, doctors told her that there were serious pathologies in the development of the fetus. Natalie categorically refused to terminate her pregnancy. But later a girl with severe disabilities was born. The baby was diagnosed with Rett syndrome. Sophia also had a severe facial deformity, and she later had to go through many surgical interventions. Because of this, the baby could only eat through a tube. This disease is a neuropsychiatric disorder with progressive mental retardation. The child is immobilized and unable to speak.

Confronting criticism

Weaver suffered a lot of criticism when people learned about the existence of her unique daughter. But she endured all the humiliations, considering her Sophia extraordinary. On the Internet, Natalie fought off violent comments. The woman began to fight for the rights of her child.

It all started when Natalie saw photos of her daughter in an advertising campaign that supported abortion. She also came across one comment on Twitter, where the author of the post tried in every way to humiliate Weaver, calling for abortions. Natalie filed a complaint against the company for allowing such offensive information to be published. But representatives of the social network did not see anything special in the comments of the author and rejected her request. In his posts, the author talked about the unhappy life of Sophia.

People supporting Natalie’s actions came to the defense of the Weaver family, and thanks to such efforts, the account with violent comments was blocked. As a result, Twitter apologized to the family.

Fight for the rights of the disabled

Natalie Weaver is currently the founder of a disability rights organization called Advocates for Medically Fragile Kids. In public speeches, a woman tries to convey to the audience information on how to properly respond to attacks from opponents of the life of the disabled. This organization is part of the United States of Care, a non-profit organization that is trying to find effective and simple solutions in the field of medicine for special people.

People are divided into two camps. Some support Natalie’s actions, while others believe that her daughter is suffering and is a burden to everyone. In social networks, people write cruel comments and are not afraid of responsibility for their statements.

Despite all the trials, Weaver claims that she and her Sophia are happy. The family tries in every way to brighten up the life of a special girl, not paying attention to the difficulties of caring for her.
