My Late-Term Abortion 

no reason to rate the link so low :S

But if the baby had lived (and that's a huge if), it would have had no life. It wouldn't be able to go outside and play with other kids, or do anything else that children should have the right to do. It wouldn't have been able to do anything for itself all its life, and that includes thinking. Is that really the kind of life you'd wish on a person?

so long as your mom and dad agree :P

I admit pure evil was a little harsh but one of the biggest reasons supporting my point is my cousin Nancy. If she was still alive she's be in her early forties, but sadly she didn't even survive to one year of age. She was born with a breathing disorder. Throughout her short life she affected some of her older siblings so much that they decided to become nurses so they could save children like her. In other words my point is sometimes the most deformed of children can affect their caregivers profoundly.

On the one hand, I see where you're coming from. But then again, a breathing disorder is different from a full mental and physical disability. Nowadays, most breathing disorders can be fixed, whereas mental disabilities can't. I don't know anything about your cousin, but I'm guessing that apart from respiratory problems, she probably behaved and lived like a regular kid. She was probably able to smile, to sit, to play with people. The child of the woman in the article wouldn't have been able to do any of those things. As horrible as it is to say it, the baby would have been just a vegetable. I think it would be a horrible thing as a parent to see your child in that state, to know that you could do nothing for the baby to ease its life. I think they ultimately made the right decision.

Actually it was one of those fatal breathing disorders and how she died was she accidently pulled her tube out and died on the way to the hospital.

well this is debate whether you agree with the material or not you should rate on quality

i think each scenario is different and every family does what they feel best and it normally does work out best for them

you say though that she effected her carers while that may be so, it must have been very traumatic for everyone involved especially the baby

This reminds me of link in which Mitzi terminated because her child would be born with ancephaly and wouldn't survive.

Nothing to add, just wanted to throw that out there.
