[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yeah, I was one of those "pro-choice for other people, but I would never do it myself" people, until the prenatal test results came back.  Things are VERY different when the decision turns from theoretical to reality.

Yes, the statistics are very interesting.  90% of women pregnant with Down Syndrome babies abort.  Clearly, not 90% of all women are pro-choice.  Fascinating to me.[/quote]

Because people act in fear.  They are pressured to abort.  They are not given accurate information.

And since an abortion happens as a medical procedure, it seems clean and necessary and normal.

But if women exercised their control over their special needs children's lives after birth, by cutting them up into little pieces or severing their spinal cords, there would be obvious outrage.

Because this version of eugenics is hidden under the hospital drapes, it seems more ok.  But it's the same action.  A child is discovered to have special needs.  She is rejected by her parents and society.  And she is destroyed, either cut apart or torn apart.

Eugenics is only getting worse, not better.[/quote]
