...is exactly why everyone needs to mind their own damn business about the medical decisions made by anyone other than themselves. I was 38 and 41 with my only 2 very intentional pregnancies. Given my age, I had genetic testing and all was well. Had I faced a situation such as the one heart wrenchingly described in the OP, I would have made the very same choice.

I find it very sad that every pregnancy isn't a welcome event, and not all pregnancies have happy outcomes. For a variety of reasons, they aren't and they don't. It is absolutely not up to me to decide for any other person what they can or cannot handle when it comes to making decisions about continuing or terminating a pregnancy.

If pregnancy termination is such an offense against god, why not let those who choose it take their own spiritual chances with whatever god there might be when their time comes to account for how they spent their time on this planet? The self-righteousness of those who have appointed themselves as god's enforcers on Earth is really galling.
