A conservative who is leaving the state with a problem. Unless the child pre-deceases the parents, it will become a ward of the state one day.

I commend them for their commitment to their son. But this is an instance when an abortion probably would have been a good idea. Not that I would ever mandate such a thing. But the child has no quality of life (though, probably, isn't aware of it, either), and the parents' quality of life is severely impacted (though, it was their choice). It has to be heartbreaking. A tragic situation all around.
