I think its incredible hard to raise a disabled child. It financially cripples you and the rest of the children within the family are often neglected. Alot of pregnancies can go wrong and doctors can now discover pretty early on if something is wrong but there are some conditions that arent noticed until the third trimesters or even after the 2 years of the childs life.
So should parents have the right to terminate their child if heavily disabled either in late pregancies or in the childs life?
As someone who has SEVERELY disabled children in their family, and adores them utterly, but has seem them struggle and in one case, die and am expecting the other two at some point to die also... I completely support the rights of parents to terminate... as soon as it practicable to detect such disorders.
However, Downs Syndrome is a different kettle of fish.
As to post-natal terminations... not a chance.
