[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]NP here: ^^ great. Please go away. You have no idea what you are talking about. [/quote]

Really?  How can you be so sure?  I actually do both have experience with this and believe kids with Ds have real potential and as much a right to be here as anyone else. I am also pro-choice.

But nice try making lots of assumptions about me.[/quote]

But PP, that is YOUR experience and it's not everyone else's. That's where you are all so closed minded. Because in your world it works out great doesn't mean that it works out wonderful for everyone else. Just please have the mental capacity to understand it's not the same experience for everyone.

I am close minded to say that people should consider that their assumptions about life with a person with Down syndrome may be incorrect before terminating? I'm not opposed to abortion but lots of people make that choice without really knowing all that much about what Ds means for real families. Termination is permanent. Maybe people on here educate themselves before making those decisions (although there is alot of misinformation being perpetuated on this thread) but everyone certainly does not. The reality is that many people are afraid of people with intellectual disabilities and don't value their lives as much as they do others and fear pushes people to terminate.

Why don't you just please have the mental capacity to understand that the lives of those with Ds, not just "cute" children, actually do have value, despite the fact that there may be challenges and that many people don't even know that much about the disability before they end their kid's life.[/quote]
