Abortion Ever the Right Path? Posted: 01-01-08 21:28pm


Just wondering where people stand on this topic. What happens, if you find out the child you are carrying will have numerous deformities? Would you love the child regarldess? Would you have the abortion, or would you go for adoption? Just wondering what everyones outlook would be if being placed in a terrible situation like this!

Yes i'd abort, i'm not going to bring up a child that will take resources away from my existing child and i disagree with adoption for myself; there are already enough children waiting to be adopted, i'm not going to add to that problem.

Any time a woman wants an abortion, it is the right path. I will abort any time I conceive, I will never give birth. However, if I were to want a child and I was carrying a fetus with deformities, it would depend on the deformity. A minor one like cleft palate or down syndrome, I'd probably carry to term. Severe deformities such as trisomy 18 etc. I would abort.

Yeah, this time last year i said i'd abort anytime in the next 2 years, taking me up until early 2009. Now i'm very much more inclined to say that i'd abort and op for adopting my future children instead.

Abortion is the right choice when the woman choosing it says so. Any more obvious answers I can provide you star?

If you know your baby would be born with disabilities, and you know that you would not want to or be able to look after a disabled child (and don't forget that can mean looking after a disabled person for the rest of your life), how could you not have an abortion? There is such a tiny likelihood of anyone wanting to adopt it, that aborting is the only responsible course of action.

I have always said that if I ever decided to have children, I'd adopt an older child because 1. I do not ever want to go through gestation and childbirth and 2. I don't want to go through the diaper/toddler stages.

I honestly don't know what I would do. I'm just glad I've never been faced with that situation.

sometimes even the parents of a much loved fetus weigh the options and decid that abortion is the better option to giving live birth to a infant that is destined to suffer and die shortly after that birth. some deformities are so severe they are inconsistant with life for more than a few days months or years. Some parents know that they do no want to raise a severly disabled child and they know that the chances of such a child being adopted are slim to nil so they choose to abort. Not becuase they do not love the fetus but becuase they do and they do not want it to become a born child that lives only to suffer. Five years ago I had a pregnancy scare. I know the risks for a woman in my age group. My husband and I talked about what we would do if those fears were realized. We decided that even with the risks we would proceed with the pregnancy but have amnio in case there were real problems with the fetus itself ( if there were we would abort). While we could decide to live with the decision as far as taking risks to myself or our life, we both knew we could not and would not deliberatly bring a child into the world to suffer. We also weighed the consideration that at our age if we had a child that was disabled (such as downs syndrome) it would probably fall on my grown children to care for it once we were gone. I do not think I have the right to put that kind of burden on my existing offspring. Fortunately for us it turned out to be menapause with no other side effects other than a cessation of menstration. I am so glad I did not have to face either a pregnancy in my fifties (both of my grandmothers had children at fifty) or had to choose to abort .

I would abort regardless of the health of the fetus. If it were to be born a sped, that would just make me that much more inclined to abort the thing. I would not adopt out the waif because I know for a fact that 7 out of 10 kids that get given away never get adopted, and then they get kicked out on their butts when they hit 18 with no one to turn to and no family. I would not keep it because kids drive me insane and I know I'd probably go nuts enough to seriously harm one if left in my care for longer than a day. Also, pregnancy frightens and disgusts me and I do not want my genitals to be torn stem to stern for a creature that will cost me countless thousands to raise and will then tell me it hates me for about a third of its life. Nope - not my cup of tea. I leave pregnancy to the people who are clueless enough to think it really is a blessing.

There are absolutely 100% cases where abortion is definitely the best path. As has already been mentioned, cases like fetal deformities, endangering pregnancy complications, risk of maternal death, and rape are always right abortions in my mind.

I'd abort immediately if the deformities were unfixable and the child would have severely restricted quality of life. I am not going to raise a vegetable; I want to raise a child. I'll make a garden if I want vegetables. I can always get pregnant again. Deformities like that are so rare that you're unlikely to ever see one again. I would indeed love it; that's why I'd abort it.

Msrosie kudos to you, not may people adopt older kid or even think about as the majority want babies (out of being selfish.) Yes I agree depending on the deformity but the child has to be able to enjoy some value in life.....
