What is worse? Aborting a not-normal baby or let the baby live?

Question

This is just a hypothetical question.
The baby is 0 to 7 months old an the mother is in perfect condition/health.
not-normal, meaning the baby lacks something from the norms.
I was just wondering if there are cases where the parents decides to abort the baby when they learn that he/she is not-normal thus reducing the pain or suffering that child WILL receive in the future like discrimination from the society/peers/etc. OR keep the baby because it is LIFE we are talking about so keep the baby and deal with the future problems later.?
So which is worse?

Depends on the severity of the "not normal."
My brothers were both not normal and I watched them get tormented all through school and beyond. It was cruel. 

From a parenting perspective, you also need to consider your ability to give to the child, both financially and emotionally. It is not easy. I would not fault someone for deciding to abort. Those who choose to keep and raise the child are special people. They will face many challenges, but there are many treasurable moments as well.

This is an individual decision, based on lots of variables, that cannot be reduced to an overly simplistic question/answer here on Yahoo.

Abortion is worse.

Also, reflect on what you said. You said the child is not normal and may suffer discrimantion. 

And you feel that is grounds for abortion!

Maybe we could not kill the baby and work towards making society more educated and tolerant towards the disabled?
