[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This thread is incredibly sad to me and not because of the child but because of the responses from grown adult woman who breed. I'm saddened. What is deemed as an "unacceptable life" to many of you ladies. I have a friend born without arms and they lead a very happy and fulfilled life, great job, loves and volunteers with handicap dogs and animals. They want to be here and are thrilled their mother didn't abort them.

I'm sad for humanity. [/quote]

I will 100% guarantee this comment is from a man, and a man who has never confronted this issue, to boot. "[G]rown adult wom[e]n who breed" is an offensive way to discuss the people who will first give their body to gestate a child, and then if that child happens to have disabilities, they will give everything else. Women know this. Women understand this. They realize that if they move forward they largely move forward alone, even with a supportive partner someone will have to go to work and sustain the family financially.

My friend who is still raising her severely disabled son (he's 20) gave up her career because it was just not feasible to try to maintain employment and do everything she needed to do for her child. It is well and good and to be commended for doing this. But it's not some fairy tale and as pointed out it's more likely than not that you will end up a single mom with a low, if any, income. And we know how society loves and supports them!

So, please spare me your sanctimony.
