Opinion | I Am a Man With a Genetic Condition. The Abortion Fight Is About Me, Too. After Roe, many people will lose the right to become parents without passing on a serious genetic condition. I know that struggle firsthand. (BARF ALERT)

Chop your balls off instead of creating and murdering unborn babies then.

“...forced abortion of those with “genetic defects” mandatory...”

Then they might as well abort every child. We all have what can be considered some type of genetic defect. And they are slowly tying everything from diabetes to mental deficiencies to genes with more coming all the time. It’s a cross society has to bear.

If they don’t stop trying to call it hereditary, then the cockroaches will be the only thing left. Apparently, the keepers are worried about getting their share so they have to liquidate.

“Dad is dumb as dirt and wimpy as hell!”

I decided to look up velocardiofacial syndrome which this man has.

This is what first came up
https://www.cincinnatichildrens.org/health/v/vcfs

“VCFS includes many common features: cleft palate, heart defects and a characteristic facial appearance. Other common findings include minor learning problems and speech and feeding problems.”

Learning disabilities in one or more areas

So yes if one was to read this article he could be “dumb as dirt”.

I personally have a more nuanced view of abortion. I certainly don’t think it should be used as just another form of birth control as it is being done today. But there is the issue that most birth defects cannot be detected until like 4 months. There are some birth defects so severe and frightening that makes me wonder whether it might be more merciful to end the pregnancy in certain extreme cases. On the other hand many born with such birth defects would still choose life for themselves despite the hardship they face. So I’m rather torn on this issue, and don’t really have a strong position on these cases one way or another, and am more inclined to let the parents make that decision.

Some things are not meant to be.

Deal with it.

I was once asked in an interview when I was promoting my book, A Different Life, when I was in my early 20s whether I would have an abortion if I knew a child of mine would be born with VCFS.

The better question would be: "If abortion had been legal when you were born, would it have been appropriate for your mother to have aborted you?"

In the secular world we live in, if we can accommodate more people than we disadvantage that is a win.
Certainly babies that have been born since the end of Roe would see things differently than you do.
At least you have choices. Murdered babies don’t.

They don’t have a counter where you can return your baby if you aren’t satisfied with her? I mean, the baby should be under warranty.

“I think he wants to create a whole bunch of babies in a laboratory environment, sort through them while they are at the zygote stage, and kill the ones who are “genetically defective”.

I’m not a doctor, but IVF clinics do dispose of quite few embryos.

dispose of

"kill" requires fewer syllables ...

IVF is not abortion and it’s that simple.

Projecting limits on abortion to the notion of IVF being disallowed is a straw man argument. It’s a phony argument trying not to protect IVF but to protect abortion.
