Of course money affects what realistic options one has. Or one can "pay" with time.

The money that a severely handicapped child requires is multiples of my salary, or my wife could stay at home the whole time and we could not have any other children. We could move back to be close to my parents and they could help too. That is a choice I would not make.

Adoption is still an option that avoids abortion and upkeep.

There are many things I would wish for the state to spend money on rather that lost causes such as this.

why is a disabled kid a lost cause? lets say richard dawkins (dont know his name for sure, but the dude that sits in a wheelchair and talks with the help of a computer) he is a severely handicapped person, but certainly not a lost cause. he has made some very important contributions to modern science and through that our culture.
