It's kinda besides the point. If a woman wants an abortion she should get an abortion. Downs syndrome or not, it doesn't matter.
I don't mean in a her body her choice kinda way, I mean is it more ethical to let them live their natural life knowing that they would possibly suffer immensely vs not letting them live a life at all
Personally I think having children as a whole is unethical ๐คทโโ๏ธ
So you're asking should all prior with special needs be terminated so they don't suffer? Should all poor people?
Kinda slippery slope there tbh...
I think that anyone who isn't ready to be a parent should have that option not to. Special needs or not. Forced birth and zero support after is terrible.
