It's almost as if they want to pretend they don't exist and having a child with downs syndrome is 24/7 sunshine with no issues. The reality is , quite a lot of parents of people with downs syndrome aregoign to have to deal with burying their own children . ..........

Not that there is a test sub twelve weeks anyway for this. And the vast majority would not consider it either I think, but given the lack of supports, some might thing differently. But anyway, it is always the incubator's fault no matter what, and there are a lot of men on the anti choice side. They will never have to face the trauma of termination. It's like as if they think women have no rights over their own bodies or something. Strange. Disabilities cannot at the moment be diagnosed sub twelve weeks. Have a look at Germany's abortion laws. It is still twelve weeks on demand (with counselling) since forever. I think that is humane. Women need to fight for their rights on this one. All I can hear are men so far with one or two exceptions. Feck them.

If we were voting for abortion for Rape, Incest or medical reasons then I would vote no. What we are voting on is if women can have a 4th option because she couldn't be bothered to choose one of the first three options. Incidentally committing suicide is illegal, so where are the woman's choice and the rights of her body in that issue?
