Detroit News survey asking women if they would have an abortion if the baby had down syndrome. One respondent said yes:
“Let’s be practical. I am not giving up 80% or more of my life to care for a Down Syndrome baby that will be depend on me through his/her adult life. “Corkey” was lucky and probably the only cast to get ratings to play on the hearts of others. Let me be as upfront as possible……This is the ‘Me’ generation, and with health costs increasing endlessly, who has the money?”
Quoted in the blog JivinJehosephat
Over 95% of all children with down syndrome report being happy, and many parents, find raising these children very rewarding. There is even a waiting list for adopting down syndrome babies
Don't be so quick to wish for that, you stupid bitch.
“Let’s be practical. They grow up knowing no disipline, and see that the welfare state will take care of them. They don’t try in school, will never get gainful employment, and they pass that down to their children. Who has the money for that?”
