Though many argue that this is simply thinly veiled eugenics and infanticide it is not. The vast majority do not end a pregnancy because they do not want a less than perfect child. Some of the fetuses or infants will be born with their insides on the outside (if you catch my drift) or lacking a brain beyond the brain stem or worse. In other words, fatal conditions that left to "go naturally" entail a painful and brief existence. No one but the mother (typically one who wants and loves the child) and the father should have a say in this matter. It should never be left in the hands of the average "Joe"/"Jane" who doesn't even bother to educate him/herself on the issue before passing judgement on a grief-stricken parent. It is amazing how wonderfully black and white an issue becomes when one has no stake in the outcome--to me that sort of response epitomizes cruel indifference to human suffering.
