I have to agree . I ' m pro choice as well , but the way this is worded and the way people are talking about it here bothers me a little bit . Some of the phrasing in these comments seems just as pushy as some of the prolife people . Ultimately this whole decision is a choice . I think it would be better to say , if you find out your child will have severe mental disabilities it ' s OK to have an abortion . Not you SHOULD have an abortion . Is the child going to live a normal life ? No ? But can they have a family that loves them ? Yes . And for some people that is worth the money , the struggle , the stress . My aunt struggled to have a child . Years of no pregnancies , 2 miscarriages , and a still born baby . Now she did end up having a child and there were no problems , but if someone said , He ' s going to have Down ' s syndrome , you should get an abortion . She would have killed them . She would have loved that child regardless and she would have taken that over no child any day . Again prochoice , but you can ' t have it both ways . You can ' t say it ' s not a child , it ' s just a fetus . It is the moms decision . When an abortion comes up , but when a mom chooses to give birth say , No that is going to be child that will struggle a lot , you need to have an abortion .
