A pregnancy is parasitic. A parasite is an organism which lives in or on another organism (its host) and benefits by deriving nutrients at the other's expense. That's what happens during pregnancy like it or not. The baby will get the nutrients first and the mother gets whatever is left over the extent of which is too long to list here but to give you three easy ones, the pregnancy is capable of softening ligaments, dental decay, and eyesight deterioration. Not all parasites are gross. Mistletoe is lovely for example.

Any disability that can be diagnosed in the womb will be dealt with, hence the almost eradication of DS in the UK and other European countries, its a matter of personal choice so why shouldnt I abort whoever I like. If you try and stop me I will say I am suicidal and then get my abortion anyway, you can all look the other way if that makes you feel bad, its my body, my choice.

I want two children, one of each gender and its my body, my choice so I will abort to my hearts content. Stop peering out your curtains at me. I want all my abortions free too, its my human right to have as many abortions as I like, that nice man from Amnesty said so.
