Or should the mother be allowed to abort with no contact? I worked in a maternity hospital for 2 and a half years and saw just about everything! The overwhelming pain and sorrow of losing a baby that they already knew was going to die wa just horrible and sometimes I couldn;t help thinking that maybe it would of been easier if they had aborted at an earlier stage. What do you all think? Am I wrong? Please don't be too judgemental if you have never seen a baby die in front of your eyes. It's so distressing and I'm not even the parent. I have bathed, dressed and shrouded dead babies and it was harrowing. The worst is taking them away from the mother when it is time for them to go.

I think that if it was definite that the baby was going to die, I would abort. I've lived through my child dying because I gave birth prematurely, and it's one of the most painful experiences that I can ever think of. I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy. That being said, I believe that if I knew for a fact that my baby was going to die, I would rather not see it and just abort it. I am mostly against abortion, but I think that if there is something wrong or the mom's life is in danger, I am for it.
When you are in the hospital holding your baby that just passed away in your arms, knowing that you will not be taking him home after being pregnant for nine months or even five months like I was, it's so hard not to think of what you could have done differently. I don't think that parents should be condemed for thinking of getting one or getting an abortion because they don't want to live through what I have.

Perhaps when you have longed for a baby in your arms you will do anything to see it born even if you know it will die, just to hold it for a few moments.
Each mother is different, I can understand if they want to abort and I can also understand if they want to go full term.
I think you are being judgemental of these mothers, because you dont like this aspect of your job. Harrowing for you?? How about the family?
Dont get me wrong I am not anti abortion at all, each to their own.

No, I think its selfish to continue a pregnancy when you know something is not right. Even if the babies dont die they have to spend the rest of their life with whatever malformations of defects they have. I dont think anyone given the choice in the womb would pick to grow up that way.

for people who think of that they are fetuses purely and not toddlers- a coronary heart is thrashing- and what's one element that shows existence- a beating coronary heart. - at 3 weeks after theory. 4,000 toddlers an afternoon are aborted in usa on my own- and that's rather not purely info on a Christian website- you will discover that everywhere- and did you comprehend that under 2% of abortions executed are in rape and for the wellbeing of the mummy? until they ultimately end it - you will have an abortion up until the day that your toddler became further- so merely days in the previous the toddler could be with the aid of be born- you should abort- so for people who're asserting that's not a touch one- while DOES IT become a touch one. This undertaking does get me going, for some motives- one considering that's legalized homicide, and additionally i will have been aborted- my mom gave me existence and placed me for adoption- and my 2 toddlers are accompanied- if our mothers had chosen abortion for us- we could have been between the 50,000,000 toddlers that weren't given a guess to stay. AMEN- shop talking the actuality, perchance sometime human beings will see the sunshine. INFINITY- so that's greater appropriate to take the existence of a youngster, then discover the thank you to look after it- the two your self or by adoption? no longer a touch one until that's BORN? think ofyou've have been given to be kidding????

The allowing for a fetus that is disfigured to be born into this cruel self destroying world is the worst act beyond anything. Is a life sentence for that fetus !!! . No kid, person, and/or thing should exist if its figure isnt as intended. NEVER !!!

Tough question, but it is up to the mom and dad.
Some people can give a loving home to all of gods creatures Regardless of disability or looks.
They would also prefer their child had a chance.
And I strongly feel they should be given that option.
If my son or daughter were in that condition, you would have to kill me before I allowed you to kill them.
I understand what you say and feel.
Try to understand where I am coming from too.
God bless.
