      I mean, if you could screen your kid for known debillatating chronic diseases, you probably will, no?

          Abort a child who will live their life in pain. It won’t only be pain, for sure, but it will mostly be a life where their ability to interact with life will be severely limited

          It’s a hard topic, but I can probably say that my partner and I would probably abort and try again

            WTF? That’s not only ableism, that’s basically nazi eugenics, claiming that disabled people are less entitled to life than able-bodied children.

            No, I won’t kill my child due to disability. I will love my child no matter if they are disabled or not. I am not an ableist bigot.

              I think you’re trying to make this more binary than it needs to be.

              If they’re born mentally disabled, I will love and care for them and do my best to provide them all the opportunities life has to offer. If I can prevent them from being born with a debilitating illness, I will do my best to do so
