If they're already born then obviously there's nothing to do. However, what I'm talking about is the same as the abortion debate, about allowing a parent to choose whether they want to rear a child or not.

The difference is not in the act, but the information the decision is based on.

Choosing not to have a child because of you are unable to safely raise it, is one thing. (can't afford to raise a child; mother is too young; rape victims)

Choosing not to have a child because it's genetic code doesn't fit your notion of good. Is another. (Downs; autism; gender; eye color)
