Asking out of curiosity. Is it really that common that every sexually active women will eventually have to consider an abortion? I grew up in a similar community to OP where these things are not discussed freely.
I mean, I am currently pregnant with a planned for and wanted baby, but if the genetic testing comes back positive for Down syndrome, I'll likely terminate the pregnancy.
1) I don't want to bring someone into this world who will be dependent on others for the most basic things to survive.
2) I'm not prepared to quit my job and care for someone with those kinds of needs 24/7
3) I have T1 diabetes and just keeping myself alive every day is such a struggle. It's extremely important to me to bring a healthy baby into this world.
So I am extremely grateful I live somewhere where this is a choice available to me.
That’s messed up. Conditional love, where does it end? If your baby is foreseen to disappoint your expectations, then… I’m shocked that this isn’t a joke. First thing to know about parenting — you can’t be prepared, no matter how much you’ve planned for it, and it won’t be what you expect.
Is an act of mercy not an act of love? This world is cruel and horrid to those with disabilities and disorders. If you can't afford treatment, if you don't have someone to care for you, if your caretaker dies... People will always try to take advantage in some of the worst ways. Raping people in comas, who can't say no, abusing those who can't stand up for themselves, keeping them chained up in filth and starving for disability cheques, selling children as sex slaves. If something happens to a parent, their disabled kid might be on their own and until people can be better, there are other things to think about other than "conditional love".
exactly. what use is love if the entire world is in poverty, wars, and depression? that's doing your child a disservice... there's a reason why birth rates are going down internationally. person above should open their eyes.
also sorry if i bombarded your notifications with all my rants haha...

Either way you’re absolutely right.
