A high school student’s video thanking her mother for not having an abortion when she had the chance has gone viral on social media.
“I enjoy every day that I’m alive, and sometimes, yeah, I get caught up in the emotions, but I’m happy to be alive, and I’m glad that I was born this way,” Marin Carter, who was born with a physical disability, can be heard saying in the footage. “I’m glad that God made me this way and gives me challenges, gives me things that I have to face.”
After it was revealed that she would be born with a disability, Carter said a doctor told her four-months pregnant mother that having an abortion was still an option. Her mother, however, chose to give birth to Carter instead.
@marincarter my thoughts on Abortion.
Carter, 17, ended her video with a political endorsement: “So I just want to say, Trump 2020!”
“Without my mom and dad, I would not have had the opportunities that I have been given today,” she told the Daily Caller on Monday. “They support me in anything I want to try. Having been born this way, I don’t know any different, and I believe I am unique, not disabled.”
The video, which was posted to TikTok on Sunday, has gained nearly 40,000 likes and 1,000 comments.
