An abortion can only become acceptable when continuation of the pregnancy will pose a threat to the life of the mother or foetus which is clearly the case here so i support,

in this case, the baby's life is not at risk,just deformity. don't u think that baby can grow up to become someone great tomorrow despite physical deformity. pls have a rethink

How does the mother know the fetus is deformed? I don't agree with such an abortion.....if the fetus is to die let it die a natural death.

Some deformed fetuses when born can't survive more than few minutes. Some may not even survive d pregnancy e.g anencephaly...... without brain.
Such can be terminated!!!

However some minor deformities like absence of hands Or six toes and fingers can be managed, hence not terminated!!!

All these can be detected by some imaging and biochemical tests.

tanx Sir gen for your informative contribution. if the deformed foetus dies on its own, its understandable. I still don't support a termination. anyways, tanx again smiley
