Sister in Law KILLING her BABY?

I must vent. My sister-in-law and brother-in-law are having a baby. Well, maybe not. She's pregnant, (they already have one child). Her bloodwork came back questionable, so they sent her for an amnio - to see if the baby test as having Down's Syndrome. If it does, they're going to have an abortion.

I am fuming. They're going to kill their baby, because he or she isn't perfect. The heart is beating, etc etc, but they don't care. A 'special needs' child doesn't fit into their little perfect world. I totally get they would be disappointed. I get that. I wouldn't WANT or ASK FOR a disabled child, but I feel like God doesn't give us anything we couldn't handle. They just can't know to what degree the child would be disabled, maybe very minor.

I want to tell them that I hope their almost two year old doesn't end up needing speech therapy or having some other kind of difficulty, will they kill her too? Obviously they wouldn't, but why is it different? Because they can feel like because they 'terminated a pregnancy' it wasn't a baby? Because they didn't hold him/her, he/she isn't a baby?

RIDICULOUS!

If this happens, and they go through with this, I just don't know what to say. I am so disappointed in them as people. Their integrity is gone, they have no morals. Can I sit in the same room with them and pretend they didn't kill their baby?

I am praying for them.
