I thought I would share my personal experience to give you an idea of where I am coming from.
Yes, I understand that it's not pretty and it's not nice but ultimately, this is not your child. What right do you have to control what another mother or family has to go through?

If your son being born was going to cause your wife to suffer/die or there was some other birth complication, or even financial issues etc. wouldn't you rather have the ability to make your own personal, private, choice as a family? Why would you allow other folks or the government to legislate what you do with the very lives of your own family? You mention "there are other options" but ground level and government action against pro-choice is taking away options from real families because other people want to stick their noses and values into something that should be none of their business.
