My boss at a previous job worked a second job at a "home" for kids who's parents didn't want them. All the children were severely developmentally disabled and physically disabled. I remember when one of the kids died, my boss was devastated. She loved those kids like they were her own, and each one brought her joy. I couldn't help but think of her when I read this post.
I don't think I would abort a child unless I knew for certain the child had a fatal disease, such as Tay Sachs. I can see the point of view of people who would, but for me personally, that is the wrong choice.
