On the subject of aborting a fetus when it is found out they may be disabled/disfigured...

Before I had kids, I thought that I would abort a fetus if it had problems. It's an easy opinion to have when you are not actually having to decide for real. Once you see the child on an ultrasound and hear it's heartbeat, it is a completely different story. It would be a very hard decision to abort.

Ultrasounds and pre-natal tests are not perfect or fool-proof. My sister-in-law had a young friend that was told by her doctor that her baby would more than likely be mentally retarded based on the testing they did. She decided not to abort, and the child came out perfect. Could you imagine if you found out you aborted a perfectly healthy baby? I couldn't live with it.
