I found out from a staff member of the rival paper today, when the 2 of us were covering a story, that a friend of ours who is 5 months pregnant is getting rid of her baby tomorrow. Because she is past the deadline for abortion, she will have to give birth to the baby naturally. The baby has Down Syndrome and her family has a history of abnormalities (her own mum apparently had 6 miscarriages). I was told she is being very brave about it. It is her first child and she is only in her early 20s.
What will I do? I will cry heaps and wonder what to do? My religious beliefs will stop me from getting rid of the child but my fear of the looks I'll get and inability to care for such a child will allow abortion to cross my mind. I wish and pray never to be put in such a position. It's so difficult and heart-wrenching.
