There are lots of people who would say yes (probably over 50% of the population). Many families have abortions at 26 weeks (when a Down's syndrome test can be carried out) when they realise their child will have Down's syndrome


That's terrible.  A horrible sign of the times if that statistic is true.  Children with disabilities should be given more love, not less.  Abortion is always an act of evil.  The only circumstance I can imagine where it may be prudent is within the first 24-36 hours after a rape...go in for an estrogen shot.  Even in that case, it would be best to just get the shot and not even know for sure if there was fertilization.
