I'd just say it isn't your choice (or the OPs choice) on what a mother chooses. I just think someone should be prepared to know what they are facing, whether it is someone adopting or finds out they are pregnant with a Down syndrome child. I think a little compassion goes a long way because it is a tough decision to make for a pregnant mother.

Most people with Down syndrome die of heart complications before age 50. It's a lifetime of uphill health struggles and it is very possible parents will outlive their child. That's hard, too.

I'm not sure what happened with my last post, but I'm signing out of this thread. I will always be Pro-Life, no matter what. I will never play God and decide who should and shouldn't live.

I wish the OP good luck and will pray for her and her family.
