[QUOTE]Originally posted by Baloo: [QB] Medical science is not perfectly accurate when it comes to prognostication. Babies who were diagnosed with defects turn out perfectly normal & vice versa. Not 100% of the time, of course, but if there is any chance in the unborn child's favor, many parents will take it. Some children are born with Downs' syndrome. If you didn't know your child had this until it was born, would you regret not having an abortion or would you love this child with all your heart? If you haven't considered questions like that you shouldn't consider having children until you have. The problem with abortion, from my perspective, is that it is promoted by some as a safe and convenient alternative to contraception. The best method of contraception is abstinence, but the second best, the condom, prevents many sexually transmitted diseases, in addition to it's primary function. Abortion is a surgical procedure. The survival rate is quite good, but not as good as the survival rate of condom users. I am certain that no-one has ever been killed by properly using a condom. <small>(Upon reflection, I suppose some may [i]complain[/i] as if proper condom use is fatal. Rest assured it is not.)</small> Unprotected sex, unless engaged in with the clear understanding that children may result, is irresponsible. --Baloo [/QB][/QUOTE]
