@I_Am_2_I_Am @Liz_Wheeler @McJuggerNuggets Ok, go adopt a DS baby and call me in 20 years 👍

Your principles mean nothing in this situation because they’ve never been tested.

[Patriot Mama @USAPlutoReturn]

@I_Am_2_I_Am @Liz_Wheeler @McJuggerNuggets Mmhmm, so they’ll live for decades never being independent and needing 24/7 care.

So as the parent, you can never die.

[Patriot Mama @USAPlutoReturn]

@TeeSP12 @darkest_roasted @Liz_Wheeler @McJuggerNuggets Being brutally raped is a good quality of life? You’re crazy.

Yes, it happens to severely autistic adults too.

[Patriot Mama @USAPlutoReturn]

@TeeSP12 @imastarfishy @Liz_Wheeler @McJuggerNuggets Your principles about this situation have absolutely NOT been tested.

This has not knocked on your doorstep and smacked you in the face.

Therefore, you have NO idea what it’s like. It costs you nothing to judge, no consequences for you. It’s meaningless.

[Patriot Mama @USAPlutoReturn]

@TeeSP12 @imastarfishy @Liz_Wheeler @McJuggerNuggets That’s great. But are you paying their medical bills? Are you paying for 24/7 care for decades? Are you taking them to their heart surgeries and helping nurse them in recovery? Are you wiping endless mucous out of their noses every day? Are you putting their helmets on?

Doubt it

[Patriot Mama @USAPlutoReturn]

@TeeSP12 @imastarfishy @Liz_Wheeler @McJuggerNuggets Actually you’re showing your ignorance.

An ultrasound absolutely can NOT diagnose DS, any doctor will tell you that.

The amnio that she refused probably would have come back negative. That’s exactly why they do them - to confirm! A woman should never decide based on one test.

[Patriot Mama @USAPlutoReturn]

@AshleyB18571313 @Liz_Wheeler @McJuggerNuggets It’s so much more common than you’ll ever know.

People don’t talk about it because of the hateful backlash from people like you.

I know many women personally who’ve been in this situation.

YOU delude yourself thinking it’s “rare” and that women are just evil and selfish.

[Patriot Mama @USAPlutoReturn]

@TeeSP12 @imastarfishy @Liz_Wheeler @McJuggerNuggets Yes, I do.

[Patriot Mama @USAPlutoReturn]

@jakqu123 @Liz_Wheeler @McJuggerNuggets None of us know what our principles are until they’re tested

Yours have never been tested on this subject

Which amounts to bloviating behind a keyboard because it costs you nothing. It’s easy to have principles when there are no consequences for you.

[Patriot Mama @USAPlutoReturn]

@I_Am_2_I_Am @Liz_Wheeler @McJuggerNuggets Statistically, they are. If they don’t die, they require a lifetime of 24/7 care. Many have severe heart defects - you just don’t see them on your Instagram feed.

[Patriot Mama @USAPlutoReturn]

@BradW13334 @SamaHoole Sounds highly defensible then.

[Patriot Mama @USAPlutoReturn]

@SarahLynn79_ @Liz_Wheeler @McJuggerNuggets I don’t think YOU understand DS. The intensive additional health conditions that go with it. The increasing risk of death every year. The lifetime of institutional care. The slavery to the medical system.

Neither of you have EVER been faced with this choice. Lucky you.

[Patriot Mama @USAPlutoReturn]

@itsneverending1 @Liz_Wheeler @McJuggerNuggets Go adopt a DS baby and call me in 20 years.

[Patriot Mama @USAPlutoReturn]

@SingForJoy44 @Liz_Wheeler @McJuggerNuggets In your opinion …

[Patriot Mama @USAPlutoReturn]

@TeeSP12 @darkest_roasted @Liz_Wheeler @McJuggerNuggets My husband dated a woman for many years who worked for adults with DS and the quality of life was horrific. Every one of them had been brutally raped in the institutionalized life that they were forced to live in for the 24/7 care they needed. That’s a reality too.

[Patriot Mama @USAPlutoReturn]

@TeeSP12 @darkest_roasted @Liz_Wheeler @McJuggerNuggets Again, lucky for you, you had a perfectly healthy child. You have not been in this situation.

[Patriot Mama @USAPlutoReturn]

@TeeSP12 @imastarfishy @Liz_Wheeler @McJuggerNuggets Well lucky you. And exactly my point.

You have NOT faced this situation.

Your “principles” mean nothing because they have not been tested. There are no consequences for your “principles.” You’re just a keyboard warrior.

[Patriot Mama @USAPlutoReturn]

@TeeSP12 @AshleyB18571313 @Liz_Wheeler @McJuggerNuggets I’m aware of that. But I know many women who have been in that situation & it’s heartbreaking. And I suspect you’d judge them just as harsly as this women

You have NO idea the awful situations that mothers find themselves in - that they never asked for. That YOU’ve never been in

[Patriot Mama @USAPlutoReturn]

@ElizSpen630 @Liz_Wheeler @McJuggerNuggets I’m no fan of Margaret Sanger, she seemed pretty evil.

Nor am I a fan of Planned Parenthood for that matter.

So, I’m with ya there.

[Patriot Mama @USAPlutoReturn]

@AshleyB18571313 @Liz_Wheeler @McJuggerNuggets You may have refused generic testing. But you had your 20-wk ultrasound where they told you that you were carrying a perfectly healthy baby.

None of us know what our principles are until they’re tested

Yours have never been tested on this subject.
