If I Knew My Daughter Had Down Syndrome, I Would Have Aborted Her – All Women Should Have That Right

Interesting. I never thought of the reduction of Down’s kids was due to abortion but it makes sense.

90% of Downs babies are aborted. I have read pro life stories where people where told their baby had Downs but they decided not to abortion. When the baby was born it was fine. I often wonder if couples are just told that to get them to abort. Many Downs parents have suspected as much.

Well said.

. I just stared at them in absolute shock, thinking, “I never signed up for this.”

Hmmm, actually, when you let him (the father you don;t even mention in the story, what happened to him?) stick his thing-a-dilly inside your whoo-ha, that is exactly what you are signing up for. If you can't handle the risks, then don't have the sex.

“that parents should have the right to kill a child up to 3 months old,”

I’d ask him, “Why stop there?”
If their teenage kid is doing drugs, or hanging with the wrong crowd, just slip into the bedroom, put the pillow over their head, and pull the trigger.
After all why should the parent be inconvenienced by having to be a parent.

People like this should be locked in a deep dark hole, and never allowed human contact. They are the textbook definition of evil.

Phillip K Dick did a story on this, I think, where parents could kill a kid until it was smart enough to do advanced math. Then a guy challenges the system by saying he forgot algebra.

I've volunteered at a camp for children with disabilities for 35 years. When I started the vast majority of children we served had Down Syndrome. Now, the vast majority of the kids are on the autism spectrum. There are very few Down Syndrome kids who get to live anymore. The ones I knew were all very special and sweet and loved life. If they ever develop a prenatal test for autism, I guess we'll just close up shop.

Best post I've ever seen from you, Dead.
