An aborted abortion

Do you believe that children (to be born) that were planned by their parents for abortion (but opted not to do this evil plan) would grow as normal? I knew a friend who happens to be in this situation-- he's underweight since childhood, w/ gray hair already since we're in high school, w/ poor eyesight, weak immune system, etc. But, he's smart, kind, funny, analytic and very responsible. I think that in someway, the 'evil plan' (somewhat like a curse) had affected the child's overall personality. What do you think?

Child of man - fetus
I still believe that the child could still grow normal as long as he/she was properly raised and his/her mind developed positively. If ever I was the child and found out that I was almost aborted, I will inquire from my parents why they were planning to do it. It's my right to know. Its my life they were trying to take back then and its my right as God has given me to be born into this world. Besides, its you, my parents who created me, and God gave me the soul to complete me. Whatever their reasons, it's enough for me to know and will strive to move on. I will eventually forgive and still love them because they are my parents and they chose the right thing to do. No amount of history or dark past will alter my relationship with my parents as compared to what I have experienced with them. Memories that I will long cherish for the rest of my life. I will survive... he-hey! :)

If a lady gets pregnant but finds it a shock and books to have an abortion then changes her mind by getting used to her pregnancy that would be great. Her baby would be able to be born and by then she might be a loving parent. I think that if a child finds out his or her mother planned to have them aborted that would be very upsetting and hurtful for that child. The mother might feel cross that her child had found out. Maybe a dad to be wants his girlfriend to have an abortion but she says no. I think that the baby wouldn't be cursed. I know that a lady was born at 7 months pregnancy at an abortion clinic in America. One of the nurses saw that the baby girl was born alive and sent her off to hospital. She lived and was adopted to a loving family. She wrote a book about being aborted and managing to live. However I feel sorry for babies that aren't able to make the attempted abortion fail.

Do you mean his mother had planned to have an abortion but chnaged her mind? I think growing up knowing that your mother had wanted to abort you would be more psychologically damaging than there being any kind of "curse" about it. But what if the child never knew? Well there is evidence to suggest that a pregnant mother who is under stress will affect the baby in utero, so it makes sense to me that if a mother planned to abort then she would be under considerable stress which could affect the health of the growing child. But that can happen even when the child is very wanted and abortion was never considered. I considered abortion when I was pregnant with my daughter, though not for very long. She is very healthy now.
