Jayapal described the"extraordinarily dangerous birth" of her child Janak, who was born weighing only 1 pound and 14 ounces, and suffered from complications due to undeveloped organs. When she became pregnant again years later, she wrote that she knew there would be potential health complications and the baby could be born prematurely.
“I decided I could not responsibly have the baby. It was a heartbreaking decision, but it was the only one I was capable of making,” Jayapal writes. She said the doctor who performed the procedure was"extremely skilled" and compassionate when it came to her decision.
