What if there were alternatives to abortion?

[Peter Parka]

I voted for no. Really dont get the argument that women should be allowed to abort because it's their body. No, it's not, it's a seperate person and the babys right to life is more important than a womans right to murder, just because she fucked up.

Amen to that.

I'm not a mother. but the bold point is my point exactly. you don't know the greatness they have in their life so how would you say they should abort their kids?

we will be running around in circles with this. My opinion stays as is...I would abort. I'm not some monster who runs and tells or thinks that people should have abort their children with special needs. I know what happens 24/7 with a special needs...not just 9-5.

It makes a little more sense to me if you don't know what it's like to have a child, you yourself really isn't missing anything...at least that you know of. Everything changes once you have kids.

AMEN! Nothing is ever the same. Your entire world changes and your priorities are re-ordered top to bottom.

With special needs children, every cold is life threatening as it could develop into pnuemonia. A clogged feeding tube could mean a stay in the hospital due to infection. There are surgeries like shunts or to fix physical birth defects. The onus on every detail of their lives is geometrically more serious than a child without special needs.

BTW, for the record, I too would never dare to tell/advise/suggest someone to abort their child.

yeah we will go around and around in circles...

Well since we are talking about abortion though and whether or not I would abort a kid if I found out it had a disability, I don't think being a mother would make me more likely to abort the child. I think it would me make me less likely....

I know you're not some monster. But I would not abort just because I found out the kid had some disability or special need.
