Parents should decide if they want a grossly deformed child, or not. While I can kind of understand forcing a healthy kid on an unwilling parent, sort of, I can't get forcing a deformed one on someone. When you have sex with someone, pregnancy is certainly something most people think about- but a grossly deformed child isn't something people contemplate. It isn't reasonable to force people to have a child like that, nor is it reasonable to force them not to- the choice should be up to the parents, and what they think they can stand. Some deformities, or abnormalities are so extensive, it can cripple a family financially, and emotionally. Families with a disabled child are more likely to come apart due to divorce, and abuse of the disabled child is likely. Given all the rather nasty side effects attendant to having a severely deformed or abnormal child, it doesn't seem like an issue people with any compassion should make laws about.
