The logic for abortion is never for the one being aborted.

Not_Now.Soon,
The subject of severe disability is literally a taboo & the poor disabled suffer in silence.
My heart goes out every time I encounter someone who is totally dependent on a carer.
I can't help thinking that abortion would be more humane than knowingly bring a human being into this world & I'm sure many people affected secretly must have similar thoughts.
Once born every being wants to live but surely the prospect of a life of severe disability must be a consideration ?
There is a huge debate about euthanasia for the old & terminally ill whilst their sufferings continue yet the prevention of human suffering is taboo. It is not taboo when money can be made from inflicting suffering but is taboo when it can be prevented.
I'm fully aware that it is easier said than done when the time comes but I'd prefer to put a stop to it when I can't look after myself anymore. Of course people will always find exceptions for any reason & situation but I maintain that prevention is better than suffering & misery !

Most abortions today are of healthy babies, very few of genetically deficient. The agenda is to reduce human population to about one Billion people. China tried it with their one child policy.

Josephus,
I find that logic rather far fetched. If Govts with all the conniving resources available to them, then why instigate wars ? They could simply make us sterile & blame it on GW or similar & be done with it. Yes, healthy fetuses not babies, are being aborted for convenience in our selfish feminist society. The abortions that go so horribly wrong are unfortunately, in situations where there is simply no way of the mother to look after another baby.
The blame lies solely at the feet of those who could help but won't. Such as anti abortionists who don't go & help a poor mother take care of her children. Religions that breach high morals but don't lift a finger to help a mother in distress. Vogue compassion is one of the most hypocritical afflictions of the modern feminist society !

Hi Individual,

I wonder if, when the Great Day comes and medical advances allow men to get pregnant, there will be a strange and inexplicable call from men to liberalise abortion laws.

But clearly, once that medical option is available, many men would rush to get pregnant, and to be baby-and-child-carers for twenty-odd years, to put their careers on hold and to forego any superannuation contributions and growth. Even gays, I suppose.

That might solve Australia's problem of low birth-rates.

Loudmouth,
how'd you get them to put children before the almighty Dollar ?

Dear individual,

I will admit to having similar thoughts when I was younger. I was very soundly disavowed of the notion by a close relative in the disability field who told me of the very full lives many of her clients experience even though they had severe disabilities from birth. Perhaps there is a distinction with people who suffer severe disabling impacts later in life but for those she worked with there was far less self pity displayed than in her wider friendship group.
