@Neo_Paulinite@La3llz Like a diabetic? Or autistic person? Or deaf person? Don't have a kid you don't want to, but why has this extended to "nobody capable of suffering even a bit should exist?" I know so many with DS that are TRULY happy, more fulfilled than we'll ever be.. I'm glad to work for them
My hot take: It's unethical to decide who deserves to be born or not based on arbitrary ableist metrics for suffering. You either take things to its final conclusions (antinatalism) or stop the virtue signaling about reducing suffering and work instead for better support systems
@Jurassic_Liz@wifeguyyuta I agree a fetus is not a person but there have been some HORRIBLY abelist comments all over my feed today, about the same amount as those from prolifers
@wifeguyyuta I'm commenting on this so hopefully I see similar sane takes and can get away from the disgusting creeps in my dms who can't see the ableism in their bizarre takes. Thank you. I've felt so sick today and the only thing that helps is thinking that these people don't go outside
@basmaTgirl@BeigeFrequency Actually, I take it back. I reread this and no, generalizing it to "should be aborted" is vile. If they could detect autism in utero, would you hold the same stance?????
@SCRlNlARll You can say what you want about the unborn. They don't exist. But you can't take a person who IS and say they never should have existed. It's complicated, but its not blanket and some folks with down syndrome ARE wanted kids. You can't possibly speak for everyone.
@remsooner@JamesTate121 If you don't think it's the governments job to take care of anyone's kids then what actually is the incentive to have a child with down syndrom????
I asked grok a question. These people are hypocrites.
Yes, Rep. Mary Miller (R-IL) has actively supported efforts to dismantle or significantly reduce the U.S. Department of Education (ED), which administers major federal special education programs like the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA).

@HeloFlyNavy@CptRed_6@DNLSHLR@SecWar Ditto on that. You know damn well our priority is upholding the constitution for others. We sign a paper saying we forfeit some of our own rights to uphold that. 1st and 2nd included.
@The_Bunny_Doll That's truly awful to have been put through it. But for all that pain, you've been given an incredible gift of seeing what that love should have looked like in the mirror as you love yourself more and more. I hope it grants you closure
