His life is worthless?

This is Holden, he is "deformed". He was born prematurly with IUGR (growth restriction) and has a minor cosmetic birth defect. During the pregnancy they thought he had chromosomal abnormalities as well. By the grace of God this turned out to be false, but I know how it feels to decide to parent an "abnormal" child.

That is why reading the following nearly crushed me.

I would never ever consider giving birth to something deformed. (and if denied termination i would probably try to stab it to death or use other unsafe methods) I frown upon anyone who does but i would not shun them for it.

It IS a waste. All that energy and sustenance you put into it just so it can die?

No, unless the fetii i concieve are perfect and will outlive me once born, i would not hesistate to terminate it. (of course i would terminate it if i was not in the position to care for it too)

If something happened to it later on AFTER it was born then i would care for it for aslong as i can.
