Grandma's last born is disabled, and she's still taking care of him. That's over 35 years of taking care of him. She's suffered enough.
It's you people who hasn't experienced it that is against aborting such suffering.
This man is an American (the richest country in the world) struggling to raise disabled children, talk less of people from poorer countries where they don’t even have any kind of disability support.
People need to be more aware of how difficult it is and stop performing outrage.
Reminder: 90% of people, when faced with a down syndrome pregnancy choose abortion, which means most of these idiots screaming in your feed today are liars who would do the same thing they're crying about.
opinião woke do dia: se você é favor do aborto você precisa ser em todo caso e ponto final, não existe isso de a favor mas depende
toda mulher deveria ter direito ao aborto independentemente de qual seja o motivo, pois é o corpo e autonomia delas.
@LRNROSE That’s not the topic of conversation though. The topic is knowing you’re about to give birth to a disabled child. If your child develops that after being born that’s a whole different convo. You’re sick to abandon a child that became disabled not the same as aborting one
Counter argument: It’s evil to carry a pregnancy to term when you find out the child(ren) will have genetic defects that will never enable them be functional adults and require special care all their lives.
@joshnekoff Okay. Well written and well understood.
Just a quick question: have you ever had the opportunity of being or taking care of a child with down syndrome or neurodevelopmental disorders?
If I were pregnant and informed that my fetus had Down syndrome I would absolutely abort. No amount of social media romanticizing of profound disability would change my mind. Contrary to popular opinion, you need more than love to care for a disabled child.
fortunately, i believe that you can (and should) interrupt a foetus’ journey for the simple reason of not wanting it anymore.
all this eugenics bs doesn’t concern me because i don’t even think you need a “weighty” justification for the deletus.
As someone who grew up with severely disabled siblings, if you want to abort your disabled child, I think that's fine. If you don't want to abort your disabled child, I think that's fine, too. What bothers me is people who have no experience on this weighing in like they have the slightest clue what they're talking about.
"The baby you abOrtEd could've cured cancer."
So could the women you kept in the kitchen, denied education, autonomy, and basic human rights. You didn't care about them either.
in the eastern part of Nigeria I grew up watching kids with Down syndrome getting called “mbe”. They get laughed at, isolated, mocked by their school peers.
Their parents are constantly overwhelmed. The child and parents have to suffer emotionally, financially, mentally. But you, especially you in Nigeria is telling me terminating a pregnancy when the fetus has been detected to have DS is evil, Mtchew.
You lot irritate me pls
