"But that exactly is the whole point of the right. They feel that life has been devalued and that society pushes people to abort less than "perfect" children. A disturbing aspect of the pro-choice movement is that kids with Down's and some other disabilities are being systematically erased from our society through abortion."
I hear this all the time, and am totally confused. Remind me again why this is bad, why aborting a Down's child is not a really really good idea. Personally, I just have no problem with that. Same with Tay-Sachs, same with any number of other conditions.
Abortion is a really good solution to this problem. I endorse it without reservation for such children.
