You're missing the point. I present possibility. You can't argue that certain things aren't possible by presenting definite hypotheticals like this. "Most likely" is unknown, for you're speaking about people and events you have no knowledge of.

I am presenting the reality that HUMAN CHOICE means that such outcomes are ALWAYS a possibility. No child need ever be abandoned or aborted if people make the applicable choices that are available.[/QUOTE]Actually, I didn't miss that point. Just because there's a possibility doesn't mean it's going to happen.

There's always a possibility someone will find a way to treat and eradicate Muscular Dystrophy, but most likely not in my lifetime.

Just because a woman decides to keep her baby, or put it up for adoption, there is a possibility that child will live a good life.

But there is an equal, and in half the cases a more pressing, possibility that they'll live a bad life. Especially when people cannot and/or will not work together to make the choices that need to be made in order for the good life to have more of a possibility.

What we need to do, if we are to be a human society that a. Saves more human life from premature end b. Saves more women from extreme mental anguish is to create a society that cares for mothers, and edifies life, by encouraging such choices, and providing support so that those choices can be made.

I'm disagreeing here.

We need a society that cares for all families, mothers included.
