Ok, so PC considerations aside and worrying about what others would think of me, if I was in the position of being pregnant and found out my baby was going to be disabled, and I was still in the first 2 months of pregnancy -
I would feel very divided about what to do. But I think I'd probably be selfish and have an abortion. I don't feel capable of coping with that situation. I'd feel horrible and would probably remember my decision for all my life...but I still think that my decision would be to abort. Life is already quite hard as it is... So think what you want - call me selfish, I know that I can be. I'm just being honest. I'm sorry if anyone is offended.
My decision would probably be different if the pregnancy was further along.

Whether we write or speak or do but look
We are ever unapparent. What we are
Cannot be transfused into word or book.
Our soul from us is infinitely far.
However much we give our thoughts the will
To be our soul and gesture it abroad,
Our hearts are incommunicable still.
In what we show ourselves we are ignored.
The abyss from soul to soul cannot be bridged
By any skill of thought or trick of seeming.
Unto our very selves we are abridged
When we would utter to our thought our being.
We are our dreams of ourselves, souls by gleams,
And each to each other dreams of others' dreams.
Fernando Pessoa, 1918
