Question
what if a soon to be mother goes to the doctor and the doctor tell her that her child is going to grow with some fetal handicap would you abort it or not.
Dear skuyler,
First of all, please forgive me for not answering this sooner. I had a medical procedure done and have been in bed for 3 days.
It depends on what "soon to be" means, and what kind of fetal handicap the fetus has. If the fetus will not be able to live for very long after it's birth, and if that short period of time that it is alive it will be suffering, I would definitely abort.
If you want to write back with more details, please do so.
