If you had a disabled child?

Pretty sure he's joking.

And If I know before it was born I'd push for abortion, but if it's not until after it's born that you find out then of course I'd keep it.

adoption if it's born without me knowing it'll be disabled
abortion if i know it will be beforehand

i'm not taking any chances.

i wouldn't go for abortion, i'd have the kid, let it grow up a little so you can get him/her life insurance then push him/her/it down the stairs.

At least you are honest.

It is a difficult question and as Misawa said, it is impossible to know unless you were in that situation. Bear in mind that I am a raving homo so it is unlikely that I will ever be placed in such a situation... Nevertheless in the event that I was:

Where it was discovered the child was disabled before his or her birth I would suggest and push for an abortion. Not so much for myself (although I would be lying if I didn't say there wouldn't be an element of selfishness) but I would not want my child to be dependent on me / his or her mother throughout his or her life. It is certainly not something I would like to happen to me and I feel an abortion would be best in this situation. However if my partner were willing to give birth to the child and care for him or her selflessly I would support that decision wholeheartedly.

Equally, if the child were born disabled and we had no previous indication as such I would say that I would keep the child, where I thought my partner and I were able to provide them appropriate care; be this paid for or my partner caring for him or her. I think I would find it immensely difficult to give up my child, regardless of his or her physical disability.

Aimed at Oli and Jake, there is no reason to say you cannot be successful if you have a disabled child. If you are determined enough to reach your goals you will. David Cameron, for example, has achieved much and his recently deceased son was severely disabled. Admittedly he had a vast support network in terms of his money and connections, nevertheless it proves it is possible.

i'd get it aborted beforehand. if i didn't know and it came out it would be hard to put it up for adoption, but i just don't know really.

You can't really compare the amount of support and money we'd have to a leader of the most supported party (according to polls). He'll have a decent wage, a few properties and probably could get it covered on expenses ol:

That is a matter of opinion.

Lol. He probably could. The point I was trying to make is that you can still be successful and in that success you can make caring for the disabled child easier.

yeah, that's not one of the main issues for me, just saw oli post it and realised it would be an aspect of why i wouldn't want a disabled child. abortion isn't disgusting, no.
