Many women and couples choose to abort babies who are going to be disabled. Doctors often say that the child will never be able to walk, talk or be a normal child. In many cases, they are wrong. The child may grow to be a healthy normal child and overcome a problem that might have been said to be unsolvable. Miracles happen daily, sometimes a child only lives a short life, and others pull through and grow up to be strong motivated individuals who are able to talk about what he or she has overcome. Regardless to any of these circumstances, a child deserves a chance in the world and a chance at life. Furthermore, happiness cannot be determined before a child gets a chance to live. No one can tell the future, and no one can tell if a child is going to live a significant life or not. This is all relative and cannot be decided by anyone else.
