Yes. We opted for genetic testing in all of our pregencies. Would have aborted if one had deformities.


We do an annual event at a local center for people with disabilities. I reccomend you find such a place near you and go attend any public events they hold and meet some of the amazing people there. I think you'll come away from the experience a changed man with a new outlook on a lot of things.

Who says he doesnt already do that? Who says he doesnt do it and is so moved he says I will not put that burden on a child of mine?

People need to understand both sides of this argument. Are we can be typical OT baws and sling shite at each other

Yeah. If you go to the public events you will encounter the high functioning healthy disabled people.

Try some medical wards or nursing homes where you have someone who is 40 years old with Alzheimer's and a feeding tube and has never learned to toilet and can't speak.

Maybe some people would say that's a fluffy bunny happy scene but I'm not the one who is going to tell the parents that they are going to force them to have a child if they don't want to.

A weekend at a disabled fair is nothing compared to a 70 year old woman changing the diapers of a 250 pound 45 year old daughter with Down syndrome. And that's a real story.

They sadly probably didn't make it to your awesome little fair.
