I'll correct myself yet again:

I think that if the child has a complication that will make living physically painful or difficult, then it should be aborted, because that is the humane thing to do.

The same goes for if the mother is not able to give birth safely, and if the mother is siucidal, then of course, the best thing to do is abort it.

But I think still think that killing a child because it will cause any manner of depression or anxiety is selfish. Is getting rid of the fetus to prevent complications that do not have any dangerous physical toll really worth one human life?

I also think that giving your child up for adoption is a much better option than abortion. If the kid goes through some emotional strife, then that's way better than being dead.

I personally know a girl who was adopted, and she had a long and difficult journey through the foster system. I've asked her about her thoughts on abortion, and what she thought about the idea that her mom might have aborted her. She said that she was thankful that her birth mother didn't abort her, and was thankful that she had the chance to live and a chance to have good parents who love her. (I'm paraphrasing, but that's the gist of it)

Again, if the child has a painful or very restrictive disability before birth or the mother is unable to give birth safely, an abortion is not only acceptable but humane.
