Aborting children with down syndrome, would you do it?

I just learned of this statistic, didn't know it was so prevalent. Im not sure where I stand on this issue, I doubt I'd opt for an abortion

Abortion rates. About 92% of pregnancies in Europe with a diagnosis of Down syndrome are terminated. In the United States, termination rates are around 67%, but this rate varied from 61% to 93% among different populations evaluated.

No, it deserves the right to live a full life.

Nope wouldn't even think of it

Your lucky they don't do that here as often.
Should I post this in the other thread too?

Almost everyone in this thread will say no. But statistics shoe that means about 67% in this thread will be lying. Is interesting

Probably, not 100% sure though.

No. However, until one is presented with that choice it's hard to be 100% certain.
I don't think there's a way I could abort a viable child. I despise the practice and consider it the act of the irresponsible and lazy.

That isn't what the statistics show unless you think that this website is a true representation for the US.

probably would, when in the course of a pregnancy would you find out?
Posted on 8/11/16 at 2:10 pm to mailman
In a heart beat. No pun intended.
Posted on 8/11/16 at 2:10 pm to lsupride87
False.

Not necessarily. Ask this question in NYC and you may get 90% yes. A lot depends on where you are in the country.
Eta: Nevermind. I see they addressed that and it's still 67%.

i'm not licensed to perform such procedures.

I don't know what I would do and hope I'm never in the situation to make that call

Usually early to mid second trimester if I'm not mistaken.
12-18 weeks or so.
I could be wayyyyy off though.

I'd definitely consider it. Not sure I could go through with it though. My wife and I discussed this when we decided to try for children. She definitely would have a hard time making that decision.
