If you found out that your unborn child would have special needs, would you Terminate the pregnancy? Me: YES. I would terminate the pregnancy.

When I commented on a lone post on the topic "I'll let her abort the child, cos it would be better the child was never born", some twitter folks came for me hard, suspending logic for sentiments. One even said Hawkings was a special needs child who grew up to do great things. Special Needs in this context is more of Cognitive. Hawkings was only physically limited later in life. Anyways, I believe abortion should be made mandatory for foetus with potential to be cognitively disabled. Total waste of time raising them, no benefits to society. Even the parents might start to fight. If the child continues to live, they definitely will be bullied, harassed and injured. |

This is a though question. Religious and moral belief would play a great role in deciding this. |

Yes, the mental, emotional and financial stress can be overwhelming. So yes, if I knew early enough, I would have it terminated. But if I had no idea and the child is delivered, then I will accept fate and conclude that he/she has a purpose to fulfill on earth. I won't love him/her less regardless |

Brazino:Should depend on the special need. I don't think a pregnancy should be terminated because of autism or Down's syndrome. But more serious developmental issues - that will keep the person bound a wheel chair for life and bar him or her from basic functionality, being able to live independently and enjoying a measure of happiness - definitely warrant a consideration of termination. |

Yes. No point bringing a child to come suffer plus the stress/financial implications no worth am |

I will really wished is terminated because it is horrible and painful seeing the child goes through difficulties |

Wisdom demands you terminate it to save you and the baby the lifetime stress and pain. It's not an easy decision anyway. |

It's for the unborn child's welfare, better to let him come back in another life. |

If it's inconveniencing, I will because that child will not only bring pain to you and the family, they may not like you for knowing you could have done something but you chose not to do anything. Have you seen sickle cell patients who are looking at their parents and wondering which kain yeye love make dem punish am Life is not easy already, may we not see load wey pass our power, it's not easy. That's why they say there are only two problems in this world, when you have health and when you don't. When you don't, all those other problems you think you have is nothing, absolutely nothing, you will appreciate life more. There are ethics to it so you can't just terminate because you think you are selecting tomatoes at the market, it comes with medical, spiritual and even moral complications during the term of the pregnancy. I only pray for the wisdom to act with love, not fear, for courage, not pride and for mercy, above all. May no parent walk that road alone. May every soul, born or unborn, be wrapped in grace. And may we learn not to judge where we have not bled. 🙏 |

What kind of question is that? Why would I want my kid to go through stress all his life? I will definitely terminate the pregnancy ASAP, this is not money matter or about me, its about the child. |

Most people saying yes they will won't have the liver of doing so if it happens. Can you look at the child eye ball to eye ball while doing it ? It's only female that have that kind of strong mind because they can do abortion, they can born and throw their child in a dustbin, soakaway, inside manhole, inside reservoir and the rest. Only women have that kind of wicked, dirty, black and evil mind. As for me I have no say in it by now but having such child won't be my portion. |

Yes, I will. Even the unborn child would want you to |

It's a hard one because most of us are religious. But to face the truth, terminating such pregnancy would save the parents future trauma and may be, the child too. But again, it would be a difficult one, even for me! |
| Re: If You Learned Your Unborn Child Would Have Special Needs, Would You Terminate ? by nautybride: 11:27am On Jun 25, 2025 |
Though, it's a difficult situation. If one's life isn't at risk, it's good for the child too. |
