Is it right to abort a child simply because it may be disabled??
I've seen this discourse around online and it got me really thinking, like ofc obv it's on the mom's choice but some ppl are saying that's like saying "disabled people don't deserve to live" And "that you should love your child no matter what" Or some stuff like that but what are your guys takes on this?
Personally for me it is right, cause not everyone is gonna be financially stable to handle a child that might be disabled.
