Under what circumstances would you terminate a pregnancy?...

SO lets say, in a different situation, your child is born at 22-23 weeks, and is only alive because the respirator. If he/she survives, they won't be able to walk, talk, see, hear and primarily stuck in a wheel chair and a vegetable the rest of his/her life.
Would you take them off the breathing machine?

That's what I meant. If they would not live outside my womb I would terminate so they would not suffer. Don't get me wrong, I would not want them going in there and digging around with a knife or anything. It would have to be humane or no way. OMG this post is making me sad and it's not even true. I might have to stay off of this one

Got to agree. If my child or I faced life-threatening "diseases" or whatever, I'd still go ahead with delivery. Just because I think it was planned by God for me to have it, or I'd have not gotten pregnant in the first place. And also, I agree with Lissa...murder is murder, and I truly believe that includes abortion.
In this life, I have already learned enough to know that I simply cannot even answer the question, until and unless I am in that position.
It is very easy to say you would abort, or you wouldn't. Actually doing it/not doing it is something completely different.
When faced with an unplanned pregnancy, I have had two friends come these the following conclusions.
1st friend was vehemently pro-choice, and after experiencing an unplanned pregnancy, she is now COMPLETELY pro-life, no exceptions whatsoever.
2nd friend has always been 100% pro-life. No exceptions. After being in a crisis pregnancy situation, she is now completely pro-choice.
You just never know.

The antichrist would come regardless of whether I gave birth to him or I aborted him and he came back through someone else.
Hi, i don't believe any circumstance should warrant taking someone else life,since none has been able to make life. I know this s quite a very difficult decision to make in reality, yet we have to understand that aborting the baby does not guarantee that the mother would still live long. We don't have our lives in our hands. Moreover, being an orphan or physically handicapped does not mean such a baby will not fulfill destiny or purpose.
thanks
thanks
I would not abort my baby for having disabilities, handicaps, etc... As I have said in another thread, my 3rd daughter had 2 cysts on her brains. The doc said they would either go away and she would be perfect or she would live a short life. We chose to keep her and thank god we did. She is perfect! The cyst went away at about 36 weeks. You just do not know what will or will not happen. So aborting for those types of reasons just isn't acceptable to me.
If I was told I would die from complications or something by having another baby, I am not sure what I would do. On one hand it would be hypocritical of me to not risk my life when I am willing to risk the way my unborn baby could possibly live. But on the other hand, I do have 4 other children to think about. This answer isn't as easy to answer for me.

When I was in college I was an RA for campus housing. We had a freshman woman (18-19) who had server Cerebral palsy and barely could get around in a wheelchair. It was sad because she had spent her entire life in many different foster homes (Custody of the state, had no biological parents) and as a result she had extreme emotional problems. At one point she developed a relationship with a disabled man\student her age and he gave her keys to his place, but after a few months he had to have his locks changed because he couldn't handled her rages. She continued to stock him for a few months after they broke up.
