If the parents are prepared to accept and endure the fact that they are killing something that is alive (using the term loosely, which I'm sure will annoy BM) and basically human*, they can abort the hell out of it. I think that they'll have thought carefully about the descision is a given. I could look more carefully into the moral and ethical arguments, but frankly in this age of chronic overpopulation I'm prepared to take a more relaxed view of the situation.
*Why don't we just call foetuses almost human and skip that entire debate? They're close enough to human to be subject to similar treatment.
