    Name one human who is/was perfect. (Alive or dead.)

    I've got news for you. The USA is the same way. Almost all Downs pregnancies are aborted. And American pro-lifers are doing it as much as everyone else. They just lie and pretend otherwise.

    Thus, spare us the smarmy hypocrisy, you genocidal pro-life murderers. By your standards, that is.

    Why would you ASSume that? Abortion is quick, painless, not done to a person, and legal.



    No.




    You'd have to ask them.

    Since it doesn't affect them in anyway and obviously they were wanted I would think some might not care one way or another.




    Yes, they can be , to the caregiver and the person paying for their care.


    How many have you adopted?




    To bring the disabled into the world? What?

    It's horrendous IMO no matter what country and no matter what belief but, where are your stats proving your claims?

    No need to be nasty.

    It was quite clear. So you agree with Iceland that just exterminating those with physical afflictions is the way to go?

    And I apologize as I was getting my brother out of the hospital yesterday afternoon after major cancer surgery then driving 170 miles home.

    Is that your point ? It wasn't clear at all, you posted a news story (shrug)


    And , no, I never said """"exterminating those with physical afflictions is the way to go?""""

    ...although I'm sure you'll claim I did.

    No , it isn't but most Anti-Choicers have a complete lack of knowledge of abortion, don't know it's been around for thousands of years and don't know that pregnant women have been being tested for fetal abnormalities for years and aborting because of them for years....they think they just discovered this.

    The question is do they want to live? And do they have the right to live? Lgbt people commit suicide and are depressed at a much higher rate then the general population including down syndrome. Perhaps it is that group we should pity and kill in the womb to prevent the terrible suffering...

    How would anyone know if they want to live, a fetus can't think....but no one born would volunteer to have Downs...
    No, they don't have a right to live.. Their "rights" (which are non-existent in the womb) do not override the rights of the person they are in.



    They are not suffering physical defects or debilitating disease.


    But I bet if a righty/Anti-Choicer/Repub thought they had a fetus that would be gay they would be all for an abortion...

    What will it be next? Babies that will have ADHD ?
    What will happen when a gene test becomes available that can determine eye color? "Oops, sorry, I wanted a green-eyed baby"

    Really? Exterminate a human with diabetes to keep the species pure?

    I think the will to live is present. It's part of nature.

    Of course it is, do you think back in the 1950's and 1060's anyone believed that we would partially birth babies and then kill them? This is just the natural progression of the the liberalization of killing life in the womb.

    You tell me what are the limits?
