I know I'm a horrible person for saying this but.....

I would abort My baby if it had a disability. One of my Facebook friend's has a mentally disabled child who is 2 yrs old but has a mind of a 6 wk old. I watch her struggle day to day pushing him around, change his diaper, feed him etc etc. he has to go in for another surgery for his heart soon. I couldn't do it, I'm not finically capable, I don't have the patience, I don't want to go through dispare if something were to go horribly wrong, plus and as horrible as this is to say and I know I'm going to get bashed for this but I don't care, there is absolutely no reason a mentally disabled should live. They won't be able to get a job, get married, go onto college, live on their own, learn to survive as an independent, and so on and so forth. So go ahead and bash away for all I care! I'm against abortions but if it comes down to my child having anything wrong mentally or physicically besides birth marks, I will do it. There I got it off my chest!

What about Downs?

Well, I believe in choice so I won't bash you there.

But you do realize there are disabilities you can't see on ultrasound or know by blood tests, right?

Then hopefully you never have a child with disabilities. You never know how it'll be if you are in that situation. Times can be so rough, but there are amazingly good days.

Good for you for knowing your limits!

I feel the same as you do. I was just talking to dh about this yesterday and he agreed. I wouldn't be able to handle or deal with the situation.

I am considered mentally disabled. I work, go to school, have a family, am pregnant and going to get my degree in accounting. There are differnet levels of disability

So a cleft palate is worthy of an abortion?

It depends on how severe their down syndrome is...
