discussion If you found out your baby was disabled, would you want an abortion?

[cockatoo]

I know a lot of people on this forum are gay men but hypothetically, if you had a partner or surrogate mother and you found out the baby had a disability would you want to keep them?

 

Personally I think it would depend on the disability but I wouldn't judge anyone for their decision. Having a disabled child can come with a financial and emotional burden that many would not be able to support. Better to not have a child than for them to grow up being resented.

i know it's a hard decision for some, but i would have to say yes

 

[normaniended]

Yes because I wouldn’t want it to suffer and live a limited life, which would be unfortunately inevitable

Well if they're related to you then that's already out of the picture

I guess they have to pick up the slack huh. 

[Tylerbv]

No, i’d be too busy being confused how my gay ass was gonna birth a baby

[LittleStarmen]

yes twice just to be sure it worked

[ProudLBS]

If I had a baby on the way I’d get an abortion period

[Into The Void]

Luckily I'm never having kids so this won't be an issue

[Zaynsus]

I would probably regret it and cry for the rest of my life but I'd rather do that than watch them grow up sick and end up being miserable and unhappy.

[Miss Show Business]

Depending on the severity. If they would be so disabled that they'd basically be a vegetable their whole life? Then yes - I don't think it's fair or moral to bring life into the world like that. If their disability will be a challenge but something that can be overcome and they could live a normal life? No.

It depends on the disability but probably not. Most people with disabilities can still live good lives.

[Sweet Sexy Savage]

Is this while the surrogate is carrying the baby(pre 15 weeks)? If so, I would honestly 

[loveisdead9582]

… that’s a tough one. If we were talking life as a vegetable and never living any sort of fulfilling or full life? Possibly. If we’re talking something mild, missing a limb, etc, no. 

[Mr. Mendes]

It would depend on the disability. Many, many, many disabilities are not life ruining curses. Plenty of people are born with disabilities and go on to live a full, happy, and healthy life. If the disability is something that would mean they die young, suffer through the time they do have, or something of that ilk, then I'd consider an abortion. But ultimately, it'd come down to a discussion with the doctor on what their quality of life would be.

People like you should be aborted 

[dussel_06]

If it’s a down syndrome, I’m not sure. tbh.

Hydrocephalus, Yes. I din’t want them to suffer.

 

But let’s say they have small feet and can’t walk properly, then maybe no. They can still live a normal life.
