[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wow.  Disabled people have kids all the time.  I'm not saying it's right in these circumstances, but it's not a reason not to have children.  [/quote]

Oh, didn't you get the memo?  All the pro-choicers abort their unborn disabled babies.  They don't believe that disabled people should be born, let alone reproduce.

I have to assume you are being ironic, since I have a disabled child and am pro-choice, and know lots of [b]pro-choice moms with disabled kids[/b].[/quote]

Disabled with something that was diagnosed before birth?  Or disabled meaning sensory disorders, autism or aspergers spectrum, or ADD type disabilities?  You can't know ahead of time if your child is going to have those problems, so obviously people will wind up with those children despite their best efforts to not give birth to a disabled child.

Down Syndrome -- well, 90% of those babies (once the parents gets the diagnosis) are extinguished before birth.  Mostly because "it might be too hard or scary", even though those babies were otherwise wanted.  Even though those babies are often close to the point of viability by the time the diagnosis is confirmed.  Even though there is a very long waiting list of families in the US who would like to adopt a Down Syndrome baby.  And, even though they still have to go through something very similar to labor and delivery.  It is revolting and demonstrates an astonishing disrespect for the humanity of people with mental disabilities - despite the constant refrain of progressive rhetoric which "celebrates diversity".

*** And yes, I realize there are exceptions and that some people will still choose to keep a baby who was diagnosed with something in utero. *** [b]Clearly this is the exception and not the rule, though.[/b]  [/quote]

Source, please.  If you don't have one, you have no idea about the rule or exception.[/quote]
