Okay you know, I'm all for abortion.  I believe it should be there for those who are raped and don't want the baby, or of the fetus is actually a real risk to the mother's health (which can happen), or if it's too weak, you know, stuff like that.  Real legit reasons to abort the fetus in the first place.

But this?! www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/ohio…

Aborting it because of the possibility it could have Down Syndrome?  Are you f*cking kidding me?  That's equivalent to aborting it if it has a chance of being autistic or...I dunno, some similar issue.  Just like Autism, there are those with Down Syndrome, I'm sure, who lead very successful lives; kinda like that actress (who has said Syndrome) in Family Guy who played a character with Down Syndrome, who actually retaliated against Sarah Pailin for some comment she made about it (and it was a beautiful response, let me tell ya XD).

I mean so what if it has Down Syndrome or missing a limb?  Does that mean it should be aborted?  F*ck no!  We have things to protect the child once it comes into this world.  We have friggin' prosthetics to help those who are missing limbs.  Look at the boy who had an operation to have real hands attached!  Those missing limbs can still lead normal successful lives!  Now I could see if it was missing a vital organ or something, that might be different.  But, what the f*ck?  If I ever got pregnant, and found out my child could have Down Syndrome, I wouldn't abort it; I'd keep it.  Another excuse within the article, "I don't think I could be a good parent to this next kid" SO BRING IT TO AN ADOPTION PLACE!  Don't abort it, 'cause at this point, that's not only a blow to the human population, but one less human who might be able to change the world for the better or something!  Or even better, because it isn't the gender/sex you wanted.  Again, bring it to an adoption place.

Just, ugh, what the f*ck with people?

oh geeze =-= i mean im incredibly pro choice, because i dont believe women should be punished for having sex or forced to do something endangering to her own life or the child's--but down syndrome, while it is a challenge it's something that can be worked around most of the time with therapy and proper care. I guess i could understand being concerned about how the world will see your child and treat them, my mother was worried sick when my youngest brother was diagnosed autistic for the same reason but even if she did know he would of been autistic in the womb i don't think she would have aborted him for it. 

I dunno, this is a tough one for me to give my opinion on because I'm not a parent and I never plan on being a biological one (I may adopt down the road) so while I don't agree with it and on things like late term abortions and stuff I despise because there is zero reason a woman needs to wait till her last trimester to abort-- it's also not my place to tell a woman what to do with her body or why.
