Aborting children with down syndrome, would you do it?

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

Your lucky they don't do that here as often.

Should I post this in the other thread too?

Probably, not 100% sure though.

Yes Makinbacon should have been aborted.

In a heart beat. No pun intended.

Yes

i'm not licensed to perform such procedures.

Well if you're talking about "children," that is murder. That would mean they are out of the womb.

I can't say I would or wouldnt. Until I'm in those shoes, I wouldn't know.

Here is the thing though....



Those tests to check for down syndrome of the fetus are not always accurate.


Coworker of mine, her sister had a bunch of testing done when she was pregnant. Testing showed her baby had down's. Doctor asked her if she wanted to abort, she decided not to.


Baby was born......perfectly healthy.

So think about all those perfectly healthy babies that were aborted....because of inaccurate test results.


If I ever become blessed enough to get pregnant...I'm not doing any invasive testing during my pregnancy(such as amniocentesis....which is very painful and carries a big risk of miscarriage) because it will not change what I do. I would not abort a child just because they have down's syndrome.

Absolutely not. First, I personally consider abortion to be murder unless it's to save the life of the mother.

Second, I've been around both kids and adults with Down syndrome enough to see they tend to be some of the most pure hearted and joyful people you could ever meet. I've never met a single one who I think would be happier if they'd never been born.
