I ' m laughing so hard , you expect like Batman or Goku and a random fisherman shows up . I think he would ' ve made a better Sour Cream ! <| sep |> While I respect your right to an opinion , I disagree , a lot of times people have children for purely selfish reasons . Getting pregnant to save a failing marriage is not fair to the child because more often than not the marriage fails anyway and can cause sever cognitive and social development issues . Another point is that the cost of living with a child of special needs is EXTREMELY high compared to that of normal , healthy , child and this can actually cause a family to slip over the line from middle class to poverty , which again can be detrimental to the development of the child , especially on top of disabilities . There is loads of research supporting the connection between low socioeconomic status and developmental problems . There is also research showing that single mothers are more likely to be living in poverty , which means that affording the care of a child with disabilities is not very likely without the help of outside sources , which is often not very much , and therefore drastically decreases the opportunities for a high quality of life and care that children with disabilities need . So overall i believe isn ' t selfish to want to be able to provide the best life for your child , even if that means aborting a child with disabilities and trying again for a healthy child in the future . But that ' s just my opinion after taking a couple child and developmental psychology classes and seeing the research on how children with disabilities can be affected . I think that you should hold to your opinion , but do some research to back it up and really figure out why you are supporting what you support , don ' t use baseless claims and opinions as facts .
