Andrea Prudente, 38, and Jay Weeldreyer, 45, planned to leave their babymoon in Malta with a slew of pictures and cherished memories. Instead, they left on an emergency flight to Spain. Malta has one of the strictest anti-abortion laws in the world — something the couple didn't know before booking their vacation, as TODAY Parents previously reported.
"A doctor overseeing my care in Malta told me my baby was going to die," Prudente told TODAY Parents while recovering in Majorca, Spain. "He said I was at risk of infection and hemorrhage, but because of the abortion laws in Malta he couldn't do anything for me."
