People need the option of choosing what they can handle. Whether it’s a child in the first place, or a child with disabilities. We all know our limits and that needs to be protected by law.

Tough decision. If I were a woman facing this situation I'd probably opt to terminate. But, I'm not, so it's sorta easy for me to say.

That's such a contrast to here.

With my second child, I was AMA(advanced maternal age). The recommended quad screen returned positive. I called a neonatologist and scheduled an amniocentesis immediately. After discussion with the doctor, he knew my decision was if the amnio was positive, we would arrange to terminate the pregnancy.
Fortunately it was negative and my son is amazing... but I wouldn’t imagine bringing a child with lifelong disabilities into the world when I was 37 years old. The thoughts of what becomes of him after I’m gone would drive me crazy.

As long as no one is forced to terminate against their will, I believe it is the enlightened thing to do. Why would anyone wish to bring a child who has any medical condition into the world when they could prevent it? I cannot understand any mother knowingly giving birth to a Down Syndrome baby, or one with any other serious deformity or condition, when by terminating and then trying for another pregnancy they could have a child with no medical problems. If we take the God dimension out of procreation, the minds of women (and their partners) would be much clearer that it is every child’s birthright to be born without preventable conditions.

People with Trisomy 21, have the right to a full life in the same way as everyone else, however they are more likely to experience suffering with cardiac and respiratory problems, the males are virtually all sterile, around 94% develop altzhiemers and they live shorter lives. Choice must be respected, trisomy 21 is not heredity so it is not as though terminations will produce less children with this variation, over time. I respect their choice and I so glad it was never mine to make.

I support it. It’s pro choice; although no choice is easy, neither is raising a child with Down syndrome. Evolution isn’t pretty, but it is necessary.
