they already have a test for that, I have a friend who was 100% happy she was pregnant (she was trying), married, etc etc.

she took the test for downs and it was positive and her and her husband made the choice to have an abortion.

I think thats a responsible decision made by an adult. if she knew she wasnt able to or willing to live a life dedicated to that child, she made the right choice.

I mean you could call it sad or selfish all day long, but if she KNEW she was not prepared or able to do it, then it wasnt selfish at all
