I find it disturbing that someone would abort a baby just because it might be autistic. It's a spectrum. You could be aborting a nearly normal fetus. It makes it seem like you only want kids if they are "perfect". It's also pretty offensive saying you would abort a kid with "x" to a person that has "x". That's like saying they should have been aborted.

I can understand not wanting to have a child that is so disabled that you would be unable to handle caring for it but your autistic fetus could grow up and be just fine.

I'm 100% pro choice and have had an abortion. I had it because I never want to have any kids.
