I guess the baby that will never be didn't get a chance to disgree with dear old mom about whether she made the right choice. She knew the pregnancy was going to be high risk. Her and dipwad boyfriend should have used birth control given their ages. Morons. Absolute friggin' morons.
disgree = disagree.

No they shouldn't. The use of contraceptives is mortally sinful regardless of circumstances. The child should have been allowed to live. End of story.
We'd say "when we go to the hospital'' or "the appointment" or "after the procedure, we can try again.''I once met a couple like this outside an abortion clinic. To counter the signs the demonstrators carried, the guy made a sign of his own, worded something like this: "We tried for four years to have a baby, but this one has Down Syndrome! Have a little compassion!" Apparently slicing up the baby and tossing it into the trash seemed compassionate to them.
I'm getting married this May. Both my fiance and I are 39. We are going to try to have kids once we get married.
We are at higher risk of having a DS baby, but I don't care. I figure there are two ways to view being a parent:
1. THE NARCISSISTIC WAY
Your child is another one of your achievements. The talents and achievements of your child are your achievements and should therefore be broadcast widely. Your child's failings are a shame to you and should be hidden. Your child's worth is dependent on how he or she enhances your life.
2. THE GODLY WAY
A child is a gift from God. There is a reason God gave you this child. Your job is to care for the child and teach him or her right from wrong. The child is your responsibility, not your possession. Your child was created by God and is therefore worthy.
I figure I'll go with option #2.
