FULL TITLE: 'I have been told I should have aborted Sophia... that she will be a drain on society': The unspoken secrets of a special needs mum

'I know there is racism, prejudice and discrimination. I just didn't know how real it was until I became a special needs mom. I have been told I should have aborted Sophia. I have been told that she will be a drain on society. I have been told that I am lucky to at least have one "normal" kid at home.

'These words do hurt. I know it seems like I let them just roll off my back. I know it seems like I have a thick skin. But I cry.

'I cried every time someone said these mean things. But I also moved on. Even though these words hurt, I made a point to move forward in spite of them, and not let them have power over me.'

If liberals had their way there would be no Special Olympics, because the special needs kids would all be aborted or euthanized. They are truly evil people.

How on earth can they say kids like this will be a burden when caring for them will create jobs? I call that job security. The nursing industry should boom.

Some are now talking about "after birth abortions" - infanticide, plain and simple murder.

There were 14 of those in Chicago last week, according to HeyJackass.com.

***...that she will be a drain on society’***

The Nazis had a cure for that! Now I think of it, the Nazis took care of many problems in society which, by calling it something else, is approved by many Progressives today!

Everyone on welfare and having more kids on welfare are a drain on society. They better start realizing what the words they spew actually can bite them on their asses.
