Would You Abort A Downse Syndrome Baby?

Say you were in a place in your life where you wanted children, and you or your serioso discovered you were pregnant, which made you happy, but a few months later, the doctors tell you your child has down syndrome. Would you keep it or abort?

Where's the option "It wouldn't have to have Downs Syndrome for me to abort it"?

The hubby and I have had this conversation and, yeah, if we knew I would abort. I'm just not sure I'm strong enough that I could do it alone when hubs is overseas.

No.

Astigos · 09-03-2008, 02:01 PM

Yes.

Lambboy · 09-03-2008, 02:02 PM

Yes.

I'd rather someone else take care of it for me. It's a bitch to take them out in the woods and put them down.

I'm going to say no just as a pre-situational response but I really don't know until I'm in the situation.

It's the "I'm never having kids, I just really like taking polls" option
