I *have* a potentially developmentally-disabled child, and I've thought a LOT about this question in the past nine months.
I guess I can understand those who would wish to abort - it takes a STRONG person to raise these children...and quite frankly, not everyone is up to it! My wife is wavering from one side of that strength line to the other. Some days she's up to the challenge, some days she's not.
But I know my little one is going to bring us a LOT of joy. Aborting him would have never allowed that joy to flourish.
