I've talked to women who have recieved abortions in Canada who say they did feel pressured by the health professionals. As Rob Kerr likes to say the truth will be some place in the middle. Again information isn't a bad thing.

Why should she have to jump through hoops to satisfy your religious beliefs? But most importantly - why do you think it is right to force someone extra heartache and pain because they can't have a healthy child and they are going through hell because of that?
I hope you actually do think about that, although I doubt you will.

I know a women in Creston with the same condition. She and her husband chose not to have children because of the possibility of passing on the disease. She acts child like which I guess is part of the disease's progression. I honestly can't imagine a women trying to get pregnant knowing that there is a 50% chance that the child would have the disease and she would be killing it. I also can't imagine wanting children when you know that child will have to watch you slowly die at a young age.
Most Canadians are offended by folks useing abortion to select the gender of their child. I don't see any difference in what you are talking about.

They do this small thing called trying to repress awful memories. As someone who is not in that position and never will be in that position I have no idea why you think you should be telling someone exactly what to do.

Useing your logic a women shouldn't be allowed the morning after pill either because her thinking might not be rational. Perhaps in a few days or weeks she would regret her decision. She is responsible for her actions and people who HATE abortion shouldn't be forced to help pay for her choices.
