    You have no moral obligation to have children at all, even if they’ll predictably have a happy life. So if their life will instead be predictably horrible (or if they will predictably ruin the lives of the people around them - plenty of severe mental disabilities seem much less horrible for the people themselves than for their caretakers), it’s very reasonable to avoid it.

      While I’d also support my partner in terminating a pregnancy with a disabled child, please reconsider your wording.

      A disabled person’s life isn’t necessarily horrible, and neither will they necessarily ruin someone else’s life by being born.

        I agree that there’s a lot of space between “considered disabled” and “horrible life”, but OP said “suffer their whole life” which I associated with the latter.
