She's not saving any lives! If the kid was already born, got into a car accident, and she unbuckled the seat belt to get the kid out of there, sure, that's saving a life. Choosing not to have an abortion is definitely not choosing to save a life, because it's only a fetus when it's tested. There's no heroism involved.
You're confusing children with fetuses. Abortion isn't the same as murder.
I'm not suggesting that we round up Down's kids and kill them. I'm saying that if you know you're going to doom a kid to a lifetime of pain and suffering, then you not have that kid. It's that simple.
It's hardly self-sacrifice either if she's having the kid for political reasons or because of her own political views. She's not sacrificing anything. She gets to use this poor baby to show off how pro-choice she is, and meanwhile, the poor kid'll grow up, suffer and eventually die.
Don't try to merge two issues.
