I don't know where Michael J. Fox stands on the issue, but if his parents had known he would end up with Parkinson's, would he have wanted them to abort him because if it? I'm guessing no, because he seems to enjoy life despite the handicap, and was probably loving life before the symptoms set in.
Point taken, but Parkinson’s isn’t totally congenital. There are genetic predispositions that increase the risk of developing Parkinson’s, but they don’t always result in a manifestation of the disease. They think it could be environmentally triggered. There are multiple people who were diagnosed with Parkinson’s after working on a Canadian tv show that Michael J Fox was part of when he was young, before he did Class of 1984 (crazy movie, btw) and Family Ties. They’re trying to figure out if it’s coincidental or if there was some kind of chemical exposure in that old tv studio.
I didn't know if Parkinson's is congenital, but used that as an example of how some women will abort if they even THINK their child might be born "abnormal".

A hard life is still a life. He found love, heartbreak, excitement, depression, family.
The babies that were killed got nothing
