I formulate my opinions from personal experience and.common sense.
About 20 years ago a woman became pregnant with a girl.
The girl had a defective chromosome structure.
The doctors said the girl might be retarded and have medical problems.
The doctors offered to abort the baby.
The parents said no.
Today, that girl is an aspiring french pastry chef in college who has already created treats enjoyed by some notable local tv celebs and a few lucky members of our local gun community.

I kind of got tired of seeing this thread going on and on so I'm going to elaborate on this TRUE story I posted.
The girl I wrote about is my daughter.
When the doctor offered us the abortion option she was the size of a peanut in mommy's opu.
In fact, we nick-named her "Peanut" because that's what she looked like in the sonogram.
Her chromosome defect doesn't seem to have caused any problems at all.
She is a tall, smart, hard working and good looking girl in college today.
How tragic would it have been if we decided to terminate her?
(tart she created completely from scratch including the shells and chocolate flourish)
