#Abortion #DownSyndrome

Due to recent advances in pre-natal screening, the number of preborn children with Down Syndrome that are aborted is on the rise, which has created a lot of controversy. About 92% of pregnancies in Europe with a diagnosis of Down Syndrome are terminated. In the United States, termination rates are around 67%, but this rate varied from 61% to 93% among different populations.

Down Syndrome is a chromosomal disorder in which a person is born with an additional chromosome—47, when most babies are born with 46. It is typically associated with physical growth delays, characteristic facial features and mild to moderate intellectual disability.

Most individuals who have the disorder are some of the most happy-go-lucky people you will ever meet, eager to learn, date, get jobs, etc, just like everyone else. They can live very fulfilling and productive lives.

Having grown up with a sister who is both mentally and physically handicapped, I personally could not imagine having an abortion if I found out the baby had Down Syndrome. However, I can also understand why some women would chose this option.

If you found out you were having a baby with Down Syndrome, would you get an abortion (Men: would you encourage your girlfriend/wife to get one)?

My ex and I are talking and i want him back. At the beginning of the year I had an app I did not tell him about and i cheated on him on there. In total i cheated about 14 times throught this year. He cheated 3 times with his 2 different Ex's. I made up lies from the previous 2016, and he found out about them all in 2017 and i still tried to hide the others (they all came out over time however). Tjeu were terrible such as rape, abortion, and pregnancy. He also had lies however (what im about to share happened this last week with him) he pulled this huge prank full of lies. He said he was gonna chest on me behind my back and had his friend screenshot it and show me. He lied and said he took her virginity (he still will not tell me if he actually did). He lied that he proposed to her and that she had actually been lying to him. While he was Doing this i made bad judgment calls however. I unblocked an ex (we did not talk) and a friend that i blocked over her being stupid (i did talk to her but i ended up reblocking her the next day) and i started dating someone and i gave himca nude in the first day (we swapped them). However the next day it all came out after i haf to contact his uncle and he was pissed at me for contacting amd ruining his families Christmas. I had to contact his uncle because my ex tried to kill himself over the phone again. (This has happened on 3 occasions and he hates me every time for contacting his family) i ended up sending my ex a nude and almost sexted with him cheating on my boyfriend. Whom i then had to break up with after. I personally love attention and i did a lot to get back at my ex. Him and i are far far far from perfect. He also lied about more saying he cheated a lot more then 3 times because he wanted to hurt my feelings. He has given me many chances to change through the year. I am fully ready to make all the changes necassary however i do not blame him for not believing it. I would give everything for one last chance.

My ex and I are debating who has the right to be more pissed about everything that happened between us this past year. At the beginning of the year I had an app I did not tell him about and i cheated on him on there. In total i cheated about 14 times throught this year. He cheated 3 times with his 2 different Ex's.

I'm one year away from graduating in university and am currently pregnant with a child. The pregnancy has been more than two months and my boyfriend is unwilling to take any responsibility for the child nor marry me. The abortion is due tomorrow, but I am very undecided on whether to do it or not. Reason being, he has explicitly said that if I keep the child, I will be solely responsible as he does not want it. I am not financially capable at the moment, but if I want to keep the child, I will definitely drop out from school and work. As this is my first child and I do have feelings for my boyfriend regardless of the way he is reacting to all these, I am more inclined towards keeping the child. Any thoughts?
