      Abort a child who will live their life in pain. It won’t only be pain, for sure, but it will mostly be a life where their ability to interact with life will be severely limited

      It’s a hard topic, but I can probably say that my partner and I would probably abort and try again

        WTF? That’s not only ableism, that’s basically nazi eugenics, claiming that disabled people are less entitled to life than able-bodied children.

        No, I won’t kill my child due to disability. I will love my child no matter if they are disabled or not. I am not an ableist bigot.

          I think you’re trying to make this more binary than it needs to be.

          If they’re born mentally disabled, I will love and care for them and do my best to provide them all the opportunities life has to offer. If I can prevent them from being born with a debilitating illness, I will do my best to do so

            You didn’t include that middle part originally. Abortion is preventing them from being born full stop.

            What debilitating illnesses are you referring to? Down syndrome? Autism? Cleft lip?

              Yeah I did, go up a few comments. It seems like you’re not arguing in good faith. Perhaps its best if we block each other

                You said the answer to being pregnant with a disabled child is abortion. That’s eugenics. Plain and simple.
