I thought I considered myself
to be a pro-choice type of woman. Knowing that myself I could never kill one of my babies.
Yet I was upset by something someone said on one of my message boards. She has 3 children and is pregnant. She wants an amnio because having "an unhealthy" child would be unfair to her other children. So I asked if that meant she would abort if something were 'wrong' with her child. She said YES! That so upset me. So if her child isn't perfectit doesn't deserve to live? Then why get pregnant? We all take a chance when we get pregnant that things will not be perfect.
Even if the testing came up normal, who is to say there was not something wrong anyway? A birth injury? A mental illness? An accident later in life? Would you then ship the child off because it is too much trouble?
I know I know to each their own. But it still bugs me
