If you think birthing a typically-developed child means you'll have an easy parenting journey, I've got a beachhouse in Arizona to sell you. I've seen plenty of "normal" kids wreck their parents mentally, emotionally, physically and financially while never achieving stable adult lives. Special needs kids aren't the problem - the problem is this insane idea that you're owned a life that's always Instagram-perfect and wonderful.
In a world that destroys children with Down syndrome, listen to this brave girl:
“You can try to kill off everyone with Down syndrome by using abortion, but you won’t be any closer to a perfect society. You will just be closer to a cruel, heartless one."
