Abortions Questions.

Well for me i do consider myself pro-choice but i do have some pro-life veiws. I am pregnant so i will tell you what i would do.
1. Deformities wouldn't matter to me.
2. If the health problems were very severe, and would mean that the child would have very little chance of survival out of the womb i would consider abortion but i think i could only make that dicision if i was put in the position.
3. I would not abort if i found out my child had down's syndrome.
4. If either myself or the child would not survive the pregnancy and/or birth.

Haven't we answered these in multiple threads already? Ok.. pay attention this time..

1. Yes, I would abort a deformed fetus.. at this stage of my life I'd abort any fetus/ embryo though.

2. See above.

3. See above

4. Know your subject a bit before dramatization for propaganda purposes please. go to Fetal Abnormalities and go about 2/3 the way down the page; there are many links to lethal chromosonal abnormalities and pictures of fetal victims to show you what you are actually talking about.
Go view those then come back here and we can discuss your question about defects.. in all 4 of its repetitive parts.

One of the more notable aspects of Down syndrome is the wide variety of features and characteristics of people with trisomy 21:( Trisomy 21: Down syndrome; incidence based upon maternal age, though translocation type is familial; features can include: epicanthal folds, simian crease, brachycephaly, cardiac defects)

There is a wide range of mental retardation and developmental delay noted among children with Down syndrome.
Some babies are born with heart defects and others aren't. Some children have associated illnesses such as epilepsy, hypothyroidism or celiac disease, and others don't.
The first possible reason is the difference in the genes that are triplicated. As I mentioned above, genes can come in different alternate forms, called "alleles." The effect of overexpression of genes may depend on which allele is present in the person with trisomy 21. The second reason that might be involved is called "penetrance." If one allele causes a condition to be present in some people but not others, that is called "variable penetrance," and that appears to be what happens with trisomy 21: the alleles don't do the same thing to every person who has it. Both reasons may be why there is such variation in children and adults with Down syndrome.

Which means you did not in fact look at any actual information posted in response to your 'questions' all four rephrases of the same question. Get informed then come back and we'll talk.

If my child's deformities would make life impossible, improbable or otherwise exceedingly difficult, yes. I love my child enough to not force them to suffer through that.

If my child would have some quality of life, no. I love my child enough to work with them and comfort them for as long as they would need me.

I am pro-choice. Another woman's decision is her own. This does not mean I favor abortion - it means I favor choice and freedom.

so if you did not know your child had these problems and it was born, then what kill it because it wasn't what you expected?


What? You want me to kill a post birth baby? Aren't you supposed to be Pro-fetal-life?oo.. got it.. fetal. This hypothethical baby has already been born so it doesn't matter to you.

Why did you have your abortion, meblonde01? Fetal abnormalities or were you just "irresponsible"?*

(*For those of you just tuning in and are not familiar with meblonde01's feelings on abortions, abortions are done by women who should "just deal with it" and not be "irresponsible". She also had an abortion. I just didn't want anyone to think I was being too harsh. Unless you think being too harsh is throwing her words right back at her. And if that's the case, go take a hike.)

Now birch,is this abortion debating or someone just being nasty like I once said? I rest my case.
