I just checked out the facebook page. Full of religion thumping pro-lifers who are puking out a bunch of anecdotes ("they said the same thing about my/my friend's/this baby and everything turned out fine!") to prove that they should "give the baby a chance!", including one slippery sloper who said "if we're going to start aborting disabled babies, why not just kill disabled people already born?"
I have never seen something so disgustingly selfish as forcing horrible defects on a person, which is what would happen if this thing is born, just so you could sleep better at night with that warm, fuzzy self-righteous feeling knowing your morals were enforced. Would any fucking one of you pro-lifers voluntarily give up your mental or physical abilities to live the existence you want to force children to be born with? If given the choice, would you want to make yourself disabled or give yourself horrible defects? If given the choice, would you want yourself to be born with these things from the start, or would you choose to be born healthy? If you would personally choose not to have any of these befall you, then why would you force it on a child? Oh right, "because it's God's plan and absolutely nothing is worse than dying/not existing!" Why do I get the feeling that the ones who say this are usually relatively healthy compared to the kinds of defects and disabilities they want to force these children to be born with?
Of course, knowing them, all they'd get out if this is "Oh, so you're saying all disabled people would be better off not existing/dead?" No, what I'm saying is that I don't think many disabled people would willingly choose to let their own conditions plague other people or wish others to be born with them, so why do you guys think it's perfectly acceptable to subject these "innocent babies" to an existence you not only don't have to personally experience, but also wouldn't wish on yourself?
