YES... I have experience with this my blood work came back that my child would have spinal bifida and cleft palatte and other problems... I went through the 9 months and she was born 10lbs and NOT ONE thing wrong with her, if I listened to the doctors I would of killed a perfectly fine baby.... I would never have a abortion anyways its WRONG.. And god never gives you something he doesn't think you can't handle. So before you play a selfish role you better know 110% that there is something wrong. Think of the baby NOT yourself, the child has a right to live.

It depends on how severe the abnormality is. If it was something treatable then I would continue the pregnancy. If the abnormality meant that my child would have a bad quality of life or die soon after birth then I would consider abortion.

I have a friend with this dilemma at the moment, her baby has a severe abnormality with it's intenstines and the docs have recommended she abort as chances are the baby won't survive the pregnancy. An awful situation to be in.

First let me yes I would Continue. I have grown up with Special needs children my entire life. I now have a stepchild that is a special needs child . You will not find a happy more loving child then this.

It my be hard but it is worth it. Ask your self the question "what if something had been wrong with me" just think if your mother would have killed you. you would not have gotten to see the world and have the fun you are having. It is a hard choice.

I know a girl that keep saying that if anything was wrong with her baby she would abort. Do you know that she has had 3 miscarriages. I do believe the Lord forgives but he does punish us for the wrong we do.

MY husband that has the child with several problems, 25 years ago his girlfriend had an abortion and he nor she have every got over it. Now the one child he does have has problems. JUST THINK ABOUT LONG AND HARD!!!!!!!!!

Seeing as I couldn't get pregnant I cxan only answer this from an observers point. Every human life is sacred, wether "perfect" or "deformed." Each person, even if severely disabled or mentally handicapped has a God-given life to live, their own decisions to make, and an impact to make on the lives of those around them. I was at a Christian concert the other night and two autistic guys (late-teen-ish) were brought there, and wether or not they understood, they sung and danced and lifted their hands and smiled and laughed. Th only thing ending pregnancy for a "deformed" baby is stealing and destroying a precious life.

That's a hard question. If the abnormality could cause the child to suffer and be in pain the rest of its life, maybe. I just don't believe in abortion, but I wouldn't want a child to suffer. If the child wouldn't suffer, and would totally rely on me to take care of it, then I would. I wouldn't be selfish and abort just so I wouldn't be burdened with a child with a disability. A child is a blessing from God.

That depends on the abnormality. If my unborn child has a condition that is not compatible with life, like anencephaly, I don't see the point in carrying a pregnancy to term only to watch my child die within a few hours or days. To me, that's just unecessary torture to myself and to the child.

yes. Things can be corrected. If it is mental retardation with constant daily learning a mentally challenged person can live a normal life all it takes is start training with one thing like counting 1-5 when he gets this down, then 1-10. It is the same as any child it just takes a little longer to learn. I teach handicap people and it is amazing how they can progress. I know one that had a baby, and a husband and LEARNED to live on their own.

I have some friends with handicaps. Some physical. Some mental. I would be sad to lose either one. Each a left an impression with me. Each were quite happy, despite their disability. I would take the challenge. Besides, we Americans provide a lot of help for people with handicaps. I would definitely not be alone. I could deal with nearly any kind of handicap most likely. Unless it was gay...we don't have any programs to cure that one.

I don't know which particular test you mean, but a small percentage of tests are proved to be wrong and the baby is born healthy. This question has been asked before within our family. The answer is always the same..."Let nature take it's course,we'll still take the baby home and love him or her"

Only if the "abnormality" was incompatible with life. If the baby had anencephaly, or Trisomy 13/18.......something which meant the baby would die within hours of birth........that's the only circumstance in which I would ever consider a termination.
