I would have, simply because I don't believe in abortion. Medicine is NOT an exact science, so regardless of the prognosis, I prefer to take life as it comes.

When we were in the hospital having our youngest, a couple we know were in the hospital waiting for their baby to die. She had had a stroke at 3 weeks of age and wasn't showing much in the way of brain waves. We went in to meet their daughter, and talk with them while they waited for her to pass after they'd disconnected her from life support.

That little girl is now 19 yrs old. She has major problems, but is the light of her daddies life. He has and will continue to care for her. Her Mom couldn't handle the stress and left many years ago. The Drs were wrong... as they sometimes are, and her Daddy is very happy to have her. Even "special" kids are blessings.
