serious question do pro lifers think everyone wants to watch their baby die if they have a fatal anomaly

i don’t know how to spell it but pro lifers are saying just give birth to it so you can hold it and love it and it can feel your love but like who wants to hold their dying newborn knowing it’ll only survive for a few minutes,hours,or days…..

when my mom was pregnant with her second child the baby got diagnosed with a fatal bone disease that wouldve made it to were the baby would survive only a few hours to like a day or two and my mom was given the option to have the baby later like whenever it decides to come or she could get an abortion and she chose to get an abortion bc in her words it would’ve fucked her up she wouldnt of been able to be a mom to me she knew she couldn’t go through with that bc it would’ve fucked her up mentally she was on antidepressants from having me (PPD) and it would’ve made her PPD so much worse i was a year old when this happened and im 26 now and only just heard about this a few months ago.

i understand that some babies survive and stuff but theres no guarantee that the baby will survive and thats why i believe some ppl choose abortion not just that obviously but yeah.

so do they think everyone wants to do that bc to me it seems like that would be alot more traumatizing than just having an abortion but that’s just me….
