I cant really blame them.

Nor can I. Not if someone is suppose to be concerned first and foremost with a child's quality of life and health. Those poor women . What a horrific choice and all due to a mosquito.

I cant really blame them.

Nor can I. Zika causes brain damage in the baby. Just because they could be born with a pulse doesn't mean they'll have a quality of life that won't rip a family apart for as long as that babies suffering lasts till they die from the virus.

....from the CDC:

What we know

• Pregnant women can be infected with Zika virus.
  • The primary way that pregnant women get Zika virus is through the bite of an infected mosquito.
  • Zika virus can be spread by a man to his sex partners.
• A pregnant woman can pass Zika virus to her fetus.
  • Zika virus can be passed from a pregnant woman to her fetus during pregnancy or at delivery.

What we do not know

• If a pregnant woman is exposed
  • We don’t know how likely she is to get Zika.
• If a pregnant woman is infected
  • We don’t know how the virus will affect her or her pregnancy.
  • We don’t know how likely it is that Zika will pass to her fetus.
  • We don’t know if the fetus is infected, if the fetus will develop birth defects.
  • We don’t know when in pregnancy the infection might cause harm to the fetus.
  • We don’t know whether her baby will have birth defects.
  • We don’t know if sexual transmission of Zika virus poses a different risk of birth defects than mosquito-borne transmission. http://www.cdc.gov/zika/pregnancy/question-answers.html
