Without this freedom, we wouldn't have Ivanka.

Pretty sure people on the spectrum can function at a normal level. Don't think it's the same thing as "mentally handicapped."

It depends on the disability and its cause. There's a whole, big complicated world out there. You should try to learn something about it.

Didn’t have to go to med school to know the difference between fiancé and fiancée.

What if someone is a gender studies major?

Don’t agree. They should be allowed to do whatever their capabilities allow but since we are playing, same should go for ADHD. It’s covered in the Americans with disabilities act. What’s good for the goose is good for the gander. How does that sit?

Read the history behind one of the worst Supreme Court decisions ever in Buck vs. Bell. The woman was raped, became pregnant and then deemed mentally incompetent, despite third persons testifying after the procedure in her later years she was of normal health.

If we start allowing the government to sterilize those deemed mentally retarded, the freshmen socialist congresswomen and those on the left will begin the charge to classify political conservatism and libertarianism as a form of mental illness.

I was trying to learn. Hence why I asked the question.

No. Depending on the disability, it may not be linked to sterility and it may not be passed to the child. Good question. Who teaches and raises the normal child? The mentally disabled can provide all the love and nurture required but who's going to help little Jimmy pass fractions?

I have a kid with a mentally challenged 1/2 idiot but didn't figure it out until about year 10 of the marriage.

Nope... I also believe someone with an IQ below 90 should be sterilized too.

It would be awfully hard to make Democrats stop having kids.

If we can put you in the "mentally handicapped" category, then YES. If not, then NO.

No one should be allowed to have children without first proving that they're financially and emotionally capable of raising them to adulthood without public assistance. Birth licenses should be as common as drivers licenses.

If it hadn't been for that damned Hitler, eugenics wouldn't have such a bad name.

Should people with genetic heart issues be allowed to have children?


Have children. The question is do we allow them to breath the air a more productive person should have?
