In my view, a baby, disabled or otherwise, should never be forced to stay with a parent that doesn't want them. The bond with biological parents is way overrated, once a child has been born, it deserves love and the law should help to facilitate it, not get in the way.
As for the specific case in the OP, I would prefer abortion to be considered first because it'd be extremely hard to find a loving home for a mentally disabled child, and even then our society is not very accepting of people who are different and weak. Besides, if the parents don't want the child, then whats the point of bringing one in this world?
