For what it is worth, my son was born with a rare brain malformation and a joint deformity. The brain malformation is not detectable until after birth, but the joint deformity is easily picked up on ultrasound. I was badgered relentlessly and told that my son would die at birth. I refused to abort. That is NOT an option for me. Even if I knew, with 100% certainty, that my son would have been stillborn, I still would have stayed pregnant. Whatever time I get to have with my child is priceless and I would throw that away just to “get it over with”. Today, my son is 4.5. He knows all of colors, letters and their sounds, numbers 1-10, loves animals and drawing. He cannot speak, but signs hundreds of words. He cannot walk, but can take a few steps at a time. And he is absolutely beautiful.

Yes, I am pro-choice. That does not mean that I do not value life or that I agree with abortion. I just believe I have no right to apply my beliefs to someone else. I am not Christian, or “religious”, but again, just because I don’t carry a book that tells me right from wrong, doesn’t mean I can’t figure that out for myself (for the record, I am Pagan).

So maybe you should think things through a bit more before you start making generalized assumptions.
