If you were pregnant and you found out that your child would be born with a birth defect/disability, would you keep the child or abort it?

By birth defect or disability I mean anything from autism or blindness to severe mental disability or extreme birth defect. For me itd depend on the quality of life the child would have. Lest try to keep this as civil as possible.

+3I know some people may think my answer is cruel but I feel it would be more fair to let the unborn child go to heaven instead of live a tough life... plus some people are really good with dealing with disabled children, I personally find children with birth defects or disablies to be cute and that its sad they have to deal with that but I dont think I'd be the ideal parent for a child with those issues.

I don't want a child with severe disabilities? Autism is okay, that comes on a spectrum and that is manageable, and they still have a perfectly good quality of life. Severe mental disability, no. I'm not cut out for that.reply - Alexander T Steward 2012/08/19 20:01:57

- Metaldane 2012/08/19 13:41:39It depends on...(explain please)+1It would really depend on what their quality of life would be but if they'd be paralyzed, brain dead, or in crippling pain at all times or something similiar then yea I would be ok with aborting, it would be the kinder choice rather then putting them through a pointless and painful life.reply
- Anonymouse BN-0 ~bibbityboo~ 2012/08/19 11:19:17 (edited)It depends on...(explain please)+1Before 12 weeks, get rid of it. Between 12 & 20 weeks, abort if their quality of life would be deteriorated, they would be unaware of anything/braindead, have a severely low IQ, or would be completely dependent their whole life, like if they're quadriplegic. After that, only if it's extreme.reply
