Would you have a baby with no arms / no legs?

However, people who DO live with severe disabilities might tell you otherwise.

So you would kill a baby ("fetus") since you don't think their life would be worth living?

Here you go, can't hide your fanatics nature anymore. You are as bad as Hitler.

That is for you. You know most people on earth do not have the same faith as you, do you? How arrogant.

Coming to the State as an adult, I was surprised at the number of people who sacrifice their lives to care for children with significant disabilities. I can only conclude that wealth is a determinant factor, as is social acceptance of disabilities, which certainly does not exist to the same extent elsewhere. However I'd be very concerned about what happens to these children when their parents are not longer able to care for them.

I am the same way. Also how much taxpayer money is spent…

She and her family will be respected.

Do I want to watch my own kid suffer and be a ward of the state when I am dead? Effing no!

Any life that I don’t want to bring into the world. I’m not a breeder, no matter what you say, and I am not obligated to host anything I don’t want to inside my body.

Having no legs AND no arms is much different than just no arms, btw.

Ok so no legs but arms ok?

Or

No arms but legs ok?

Or

One arm one leg ok?

How many limbs does your kid require?

At this time in my life I would terminate all of the above.

Lazy eye?

Blind?

Very short?

NP. Yes I would terminate for any of the above reasons. It’s none of your business.

What about cross eyed or colorblind?
Really tall?
ohhh, what if you knew they were going to be fat?

Those reasons too.

NO those do not require funds idiot.

Bringing a "baby" into this world that needs that much care better be able to afford it. Bec Pro life is coming for those social security funds.

Who is paying for all this care? Red states? HAHAHAHA no

Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me. Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you.

Most parents will care for a child if they develop disability later in life (ie after birth) and it will still be very hard. Just like we care for other family members who become disabled due to accident, genes or illness. Why would you bring a child into the world if they have severe disability? That is cruel. Unless you have so much money that you can ensure a great standard of living and care for them for the rest of their natural life.

Do you care if they are sexually abused by their caregiver? Will you get their tubes tied or give them a vasectomy?

Brilliant Johnny having an accident is terrible bad luck
Severely disabled from birth Jenny has the bad luck of having cruel parents.

So, parents who choose to bring a disabled child into the world are now cruel? Is that what you think when you see a family with a disabled child? I have no words.

Yes, and yes, you should stop talking.

You're the only person talking about killing a child. The rest of us are discussing terminating a pregnancy.

Nope, plenty of people have talked about aborting a baby. If it’s a baby, you are, in fact, killing a child.

Stop forcing your narrow world view on most of the people on earth. You really think you are chosen? Then you are a bad person.

I wouldn’t opt for euthanasia, but I would relinquish custody of the child.

Oh please. I have a cousin with Down Syndrome. She is now 38 and she's always been a normal part of our family. I still would have leaned heavily towards terminating my own pregnancy if the baby was diagnosed with Down Syndrome.

Is it a baby or a fetus?

Fetus, unborn baby, parasite, I’m not picky about terminology.

Yikes.

You are disgusting to me too. So to each his own.

In our own case, we committed to each other we would terminate. Luckily, thankfully, we never faced that situation.

In my mind, if you are not willing to terminate, do not bother testing at all.

I was friendly with a woman who got bad news at her 20-week anatomy scan. She said she cried in bed for two days, then got up and started making phone calls. She has a team assembled in the delivery room, ready to assist with the diagnoses her child had received, as soon as her child was delivered. Knowledge is power.

Wow, talking about privilege. Here I am, could not even afford a midwife.
