[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Okay, I give up. Obviously the only right thing to do is abort kids with Down syndrome, and anyone who thinks differently is just in denial, an asshole, or trying to control other people. Too bad people with Ds don't get a say in this.

And yes, to the PP, having a child with Ds is very much like having a typical kid, hard as that obviously is for those in this thread to believe. Most children with Ds don't have "wires coming out of every orifice."

Why can't the pro-choice crowd argue for choice without shitting all over the lives of people with Ds?[/quote]

19:18 here.  My kids don't have Downs but I've never met a family with a Downs child that didn't also have significant medical/therapy expenses and lifelong concerns.  Even if the child doesn't have "wires coming out of every orifice", which you won't know until after the child is born, it is NOT very much like having a NT kid.  You can say you were able to manage it, that you know others who were able to manage it but you can't say it's not much different than having an NT kid.  It is very different.
  
I don't give a rat's ass why someone gets an abortion.  It's not my business.   It's really easy to say raising an SN child isn't that much different than a NT, but it is -  and I don't see many people outside the SN world working to change that reality.  [/quote]
