No woman should be forced to bear a child for any reason at all. I am just so furious I can hardly type. I know full well that many people with Down's syndrome have no problems at all, but there are those whose lives are just pure hell from cradle to grave with physical problems. I know this as a nurse who has worked with the developmentally disabled. A woman knows how much she can bear and if she chooses to have an abortion for this reason I fully support her!
