I think women have the right to choose but I know for a fact that if my parents were not as incredibly wonderful as they are, I would not be responding to this post.

Children have the right to life, but there are indeed circumstances where a woman has every right in the world to choose.

In my opinion which is again just my opinion the majority of women are great people (I married the bestest of all women). Who would always love and care for and protect their childrend, however there are a minority that would find the slightest birth defect with todays technology and say ahhhh to hell with it....abort!!!!

I would not be alive today writing this, if I had been born to a person such as this and I would say my professional and volunteer pedigree would lead to the conclusion that it was a good thing I was born.

I am so very graciously lucky that I have the best parents I think anyone could ever ask for who supported me and made me into honestly the great man I am today.

If this was my only experience I would say of course women have the right to choose 100% of the time, because hey my parents chose right and groomed me despite my "deficiencies" to become a professional and physical powerhouse. I get complimented on my looks and my business acumen on the daily and I am in my twenties.

But I have met women and couples, some fantastic, but some superficially vain and horrible, these women with todays technology would have taken one look at my "deformities" which turned out not to be much at all and said "no my child is not perfect, abort now!"

This just cannot happen, so how do you balance this?

I guess your parents skipped the lessons on humility.
