[quote=Anonymous][quote]Yeah, but I'm saying part of the reason people resent SN children and there is a social stigma is reflected in this attitude that SN kids aren't even worth their life. They should be aborted. And when somehow people haven't managed to get rid of them before they are born, then they resent them. So the same attitude that has been expressed here is the very same attitude that makes it harder for SN parents. "Look I don't think my tax money should go to help your SN kid because you should have taken care of that before they were born." Or just simply the callousness expressed here comes out. If we had a culture that valued the lives of kids with special needs, starting at the beginning, instead of viewing them as disposable, maybe society would also offer more support to parents of kids with SN.[/quote]

So where does it start?  I would say that it starts with supporting the SN kids that are here.  As long as people perceive that raising DN kids is not as easy as raising typical kids, they will be more likely to terminate the pregnancy.  Change that and people would be less likely to terminate.  So, why are so many people starting with the abortion issue?[/quote]
