Why I am Pro-Life Part III

Because Disabled People are People Too.  These pictures were shot at the Padres v Orioles game for OD4 Little League Challenger game.  Just about every player on both teams are the unfit.  But I would say every one of them deserved to be born.

I and everybody in my family are among the unfit. Huge numbers of people I know are unfit. There are mothers who would abort an autistic child if they could have. My son has Cerebral Palsy. One of my best friend's children has CP.

I think that people who care for children born with birth defects and inherited diseases deserve a lot of credit. But I have no problem with someone terminating a pregnancy to avoid a lifetime of disability for a child. That is a case where I can't see anyone having any right to question a woman's decision to have an abortion.

You do realize how incredibly insulting that is to both the parents and the kids, right? It isn't like we're anybody special- if anything, I'm less capable than the average neurotypical *should be* if they truly had any of that mythical empathy they keep telling me I should have.

I have a huge problem with anybody who hates the disabled so much that they think such a child would be better off dead. NO life is so disabled that death is better, ever.

I don't hate the disabled. I don't believe that an early termination of a life is doing anything bad to anyone. If you end the life of someone who has become aware of their being alive, that is a different story. But a first trimester fetus has no awareness of its own existence.

Then maybe somebody should come shoot you, since early termination of a life isn't doing anything bad.

" If you end the life of someone who has become aware of their being alive, that is a different story. But a first trimester fetus has no awareness of its own existence."

Then why do they evade the knife?

I'm not going to argue abortion with you. You know what I mean by terminating a life early. I mean some time during pregnancy. Abortion is like genocide to you. There is nothing I can do to help you with that kind of warped vision. It's an insult to people who have experienced true genocide.

Considering that you also believe in Euthanasia, no, I do not know that your "a life terminated early" only applies to fetuses.
