Well because someone could make the argument of "Oh, so you would have kept this baby if he/she was healthy, but since there is a problem you don't want him anymore??"
An understandable argument. But one that doesn't take into account the emotional/mental difficulties that come with caring for a child who has a serious life long illness. Some people are strong enough to handle these difficulties with grace. Others would have an incredibly hard time.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
