Would you abort your unborn child if you know that he/she would be mentally retarded?

I'd argue that men don't put people through decades of unnecessary suffering.

Who are you to pass that kind of judgement?  And how is mental retardation considered suffering? Does it cause physical pain?  People with disabilities need more love and care, not less. 

You know, Hitler and the Nazi's used scientists to conduct experiements during WWII to try and breed or alter people from their original state to make them more "perfect". 

The very idea that two people would have sexual intercourse (likely just for pleasure and not even procreation), learn they're with child, then decide to murder it in the end because they didn't want to deal with imperfections makes me sick to my stomach. 

Poeple with severe mental disabilitiers can have immensely decreased quality of life and impaired faculties. That's suffering.

And please, Hitler also used rockets to bomb people, does that make NASA evil for using them to get to the moon? The Nazis performed inhumane medical experiments, but does that mean we shouldn't perform surgery?

The choice ultimately lies with the mother, as it's her body.

And you can only murder a human being, not a clump of cells with only the POTENTIAL to be a human being.
