he is forcing his religious views on another person, I must as the mother of a severely disabled daughter say that having a disabled child is not the end of the world! If you chose not to complete a pregnancy it is your choice but it is not mandatory to end it due to disability.

I was in a class discussion with this topic when we had a visiting professor from Germany setting in. He listened to us for a while - sitting directly behind me, as he knew that my child was definitely disabled. Finally he told us about Hitler and Germany. When you destroy all the "needy" you end the need for compassion and empathy. My daughter serves a purpose. That of alerting the world that selfishness is wrong.

So I am not against getting an abortion but just wanted to say that there are benefits to loving the child that needs you more than any other person.
