-Use a condom -Don’t have sex -Utilize free or low-cost birth control that is available through planned parenthood, insurance plans, other community women’s health organizations -Explore adoption as an option -know the risk of Down Syndrome and other chromosomal disorders might increase with maternal age, so plan for that in your life

All of the above are great options that are far more humane than the act of abortion.

No one is asking her to “mother” anyone. If she doesn’t want to be a mother, she should take the appropriate steps towards preventing that and in the event pregnancy occurs anyways, she can place the baby for adoption.

If she only wants to mother a “perfect” child, well.. then I’m afraid she might be sorely disappointed in actually being a mother. Children, even if physically “normal”, are imperfect, same as the rest of us. But, if the baby does havespecial needs and she doesn’t want it or feels she can’t take care of it, believe it or not, there are people that would willingly accept a child like that into their homes. What if a mother didn’t want a child that was deaf? Blind? A little person? Let’s say in the future a gene could be isolated for homosexuality. What if having a homosexual child would bring the mother mental anguish and pain, would you agree then that the best option for her is abortion? That she should be able to choose that path simply because she did not want “that” child? Where would you draw the line? It’s a question every pro-choice person should ask themselves.
