Its reality. No parents want a child to have any type of limitation. Nobody wishes or hopes for that and you must be deluded to thing they do. Just because they dont want a child with a disability doesnt mean that the children are not loved or anything like that. Thats just how people are.

Nearly all abortions take place in the first trimester, when the fetus cannot exist independent of the mother. As it is attached by the placenta and umbilical cord, its health is dependent on her health, and cannot be regarded as a separate entity or as a "person".
• Each year, two percent of women aged 15–44 have an abortion. Half have had at least one previous abortion.[2,3]
If you're against abortion then that means that the woman should be forced to have the baby, all because your 1000+ year old book says it's an "evil" thing to do.

Well then maybe we should kill the diabetics too. They are dependent on insulin and without it they would die. They cannot live independently of it and their health is dependent on their supply of the drug.
I do not agree with abortion other than for very specific situations.

HALF of all women that have an abortion have had one previously. Pregnancy is 100% preventable, excluding cases of rape of course, so there is no excuse for that.

Please show me where abortion is mentioned in the Bible.
For me, religion has nothing to do with it. You made a choice to open your legs knowing there were consequences, you should put your big girl panties on and deal with the choice that you made.
Flame away.

I see this argument so often that I'm starting to wonder if the "pro-lifers" are actually fantasizing about murdering their own children. Given that you seem to see no difference between a single cell undergoing meiosis, and a ten year old, it wouldn't surprise me.

Sounds like this joker should have been more thoughtful and discriminating about where he stuck his penis, unless maybe he forced that as well.
It's still a mind and a body.
Week 9 to 16
Fetus attached to placenta, approximately 12 weeks after fertilization. The fetal stage commences at the beginning of the 9th week.[1] At the start of the fetal stage, the fetus is typically about 30 millimetres (1.2 in) in length from crown to rump, and weighs about 8 grams.[1] The head makes up nearly half of the fetus' size.[9] Breathing-like movement of the fetus is necessary for stimulation of lung development, rather than for obtaining oxygen.[10]
The heart, hands, feet, brain and other organs are present, but are only at the beginning of development and have minimal operation.[11][12]
Fetuses are not capable of feeling pain at the beginning of the fetal stage, and may not be able to feel pain until the third trimester.[13]
At this point in development, uncontrolled movements and twitches occur as muscles, the brain and pathways begin to develop.[14]
Since you brought up my religion in the first post. I'll add this. An athiest only has one shot at life then poof gone for all eternity, you would think life would be more valuable when you do not believe in an afterlife, but that is just me.
