I think abortion in this case is the better choice than giving life to such a child which is nothing else but a mockery with its future life. What kind of a mother would give life to a child in the full consciousness that this child won't have a normal life? That this child will most probably be bullied and ridiculed by the other kids because it's different? I'm not mentally impaired and yet I know what it is to be different and to be constantly bullied for that at school. But there's one difference - I fought back. While that kid won't have the mental capacity to fight back thus it will be like green light for all bullies. Does that kid really deserve such a life only because the selfishness of the mother and the fear to lose her offspring? Because of her selfishness and fear of the loss, that kid will have to spend the rest of its life in being the regular subject of ridicules and a punch bag for bullies.
I don't know about you but if I were a mother, I wouldn't do that to my kid.
