The doctors thought my daughter might have feeding problems when she's born, and asked if we wanted to have her aborted because she 'may' have them. Sickening. (btw, she's a perfectly fine, noisy little darling no feeding problems at all)

Why aren't we, the general population, consulted on such things?
Sheesh, I swear this country sets laws and whatnot for you to obey, but it doesn't offer you the chance to vote for or against them. Ack.
I know the feeling. I only learnt about this on a USA message board. It seems a lot of british people I spoke to don't know about this either.
