When a woman makes a false allegation of domestic abuse in order to gain leverage in Family Court, @PoliceScotland operates under these protocols:

Complainer = presumptive "victim"
Accused = presumptive "perpetrator"
Response = "co-designed with victim"

Finally some branding I can get behind

[Martin Leo Rivers @MartinRivers]

@pravato @te_madame Because it's not just their lives, is it?

Like how pro-abortion lobbyists in general talk about "women making decisions about their bodies" - it's not just their body, is it?

A new human life is spawned, and snuffing it out should always be an absolute last resort

Never give up!

A Nepali Sherpa has been found alive on the slopes of Mount Everest after missing for six days without food or oxygen. Dawa Sherpa was reunited with his family, who had already begun funeral rituals.

@JadeK526 Put another way: youre focusing on the consequences of the child on your existing, pre-defined life

A lot ot people choose parenthood as the non-negotiable starting point, and they fit the rest of their life around that base

Selfish vs selfless

[Martin Leo Rivers @MartinRivers]

@JadeK526 This argument presupposes what a "normal" parent sees as "normal" life. If your social life, vacations, persona & aspirations are central to your identity, then yes, a Down's kid is a major hurdle

If you just wanna be a parent and you're flexible on the details... it's no biggy

[Martin Leo Rivers @MartinRivers]

@Slatzism Wow. It started off so bad and I was sure it couldn't get any worse, but you just kept plumbing new depths

Intelligence: do you judge it by academic achievement, job title, appearance, performance, or something else altogether?

@timotheeology Bro

[Martin Leo Rivers @MartinRivers]

@BitPaine There isn't a parent of a Down's kid alive today who will tell you their parenthood is "endless suffering"

That's hyperbolic sophistry used to defend an indefensible position

[Martin Leo Rivers @MartinRivers]

The nod after "hot" 🤣

Should be mandatory viewing for prospective parents

Before ending your unborn baby’s life due to down syndrome like the couple below did, watch the video on top in full 💜

@LilaGraceRose I couldn't believe these stats when I first saw them. It reminds me of new dog owners who change their mind & get their pet put to sleep for "it's own interest" rather than admit they're thinking about lifestyle

If you decide to do it, the law lets you. But confront the reality

[Martin Leo Rivers @MartinRivers]

It's shocking that UK/EU abortion rates for Down's are ~90% & many countries allow abortion up to birth

These are lifestyle abortions done to benefit the carers, not the fetal patient. Down's kids are broadly healthy & happy. An emotional subject but not a complex one 2/2

[Martin Leo Rivers @MartinRivers]

The logic is astounding, effectively: "It's a cruel world and we're all bullies who will try to ruin the lives of anyone born different, so let's just kill them before they get born"

Down's people consistenly report 95%+ happiness in studies, with or without ridicule 1/2

[Bullyboy🇺🇸💥 @LeoW877]

@nypost Decision to abort was right, monetizing it was wrong. Cunts can all sit here and cry “baby killer” but no one should be forced to bring an innocent child in this hateful world to be ridiculed all their life. It also takes a heavy mental and financial toll on the parent.

[Martin Leo Rivers @MartinRivers]

@NeandertalGames @bralternativo_ People with Downs seem to do a better job of enjoying life in general, so proponents of Downs abortion can't really say it's in their interest

The argument - admitted or not - typically revolves around disruption to the carers lives. Which is why it's such a controversial stance

@COPFS I will be writing at length on this subject when I am permitted to do so. I will be engaging with all actors in the process - on & off the record - in pursuit not of criticism but of reform. Good intentions are not an excuse for preserving a broken system that destroys lives

@COPFS Thank you if you've got this far, I appreciate it. Now let me end with some simple questions:

Did the man & his children receive justice?

Is it morally right to create a new class of male victims while seeking to protect female victims?

Could the State be doing a better job?
