Do you feel sympathy toward people who aborted their child for Downs Syndrome?

Question

1. Yes, definitely.
2. No, they chose to abort their baby, I don't feel bad for them.
3. I feel bad for the child, not the mother.

Answer

No I don't feel bad for the mother. Plenty of DS babies grow to live healthy, independent, and productive lives.

Answer

No, and I think it's inappropriate to post those things in the pregnancy and child loss group. It's very insensitive to all the mothers in that group that would've taken a baby with three heads if their child got to live. You didn't lose your child, you purposefully ended their life. It belongs in the abortion group.

Answer

Yes, I feel bad for the mothers. They never gave themselves the chance to enjoy their wonderful children. There is a lot of scary information and they feel like they are making the best decision. I just wish more people realized that these babies are generally incredibly sweet and amazing gifts.

Answer

I, personally would never abort my child if I found out they had Down syndrome. And I personally don't condone abortions period, unless in the case of rape... But some people just can't take on the life of a special needs child and ultimately this is their choice... And so is abortion period. I don't feel sympathy towards them, but I also have no place to judge.

Answer

Maybe I'm just reacting to the way this is worded, but I don't quite see where anyone who's had an abortion for any reason is asking for your "sympathy" so this whole question seems a little patronizing and tone-deaf.

Answer

Incredibley insensitive , i do feel sorry for the mothers who abort regardless of a medical termination or abortion. This is a decision they will have to live with their entire life and always think what if. Yes fair play to the mothers who use it as contraception which is wrong on so many levels but to those who have no choice then; be abit more sensitive instead of slating them while u sit behind ur screen.
