Anonymous mother of a handicapped child, on why she would not abort a subsequent pregnancy:
“If I hadn’t already had one it would be an easier decision but I’ve had W and she is classed as handicapped. But she’s lovely, she seems as normal as can be, so I couldn’t have an abortion after W, but if I hadn’t had her, my idea of being handicapped would be different.”
