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.
You’re getting downloaded, but you’re right because what is this person gonna do if their baby does end up with type of disability that was either non-testable or they just got an incorrect reading; that they did take and their child ends up with a disability already tested for. what are they going to do? blame the hospitals or are they going to take care of their child because clearly they have very conditional love.

Either way you’re absolutely right.
