Search Results: having an abortion

In most Western countries where serious disability/abnormality of a fetus is medical grounds to have a pregnancy terminated if the mother chooses, Down's Syndrome is one of the conditions included for which this is an option. I agree with being allowed to have an abortion if any baby born would have a terrible disability that would leave it with little/no quality of life, but to me, Down's Syndrome doesn't seem to fit that bracket- people with Down's Syndrome don't seem unhappy or afflicted. I understand raising a child with Down's is probably really challenging and each pregnancy is unique in its own sense, but broadly speaking I don't think Down's Syndrome should be a reason to terminate a pregnancy. Am I being too simplisitic? What does anybody else think?
