What is so "repugnant" about terminating embryos for intelligence if doing it for a host of other reasons, for example, gender and genetic disease, is a ok? Eugenics never went away it just laid dormant until the technology came along to make it "cleaner" and allow parents to do it.

This will be the end of professional sports. And maybe the Democrat party.

I see a problem here. If they do deselect babies with mental difficulties and low IQ’s then how will they sustain the liberal democratic base???

[Sacajaweau]

I believe abortion si/was the offshoot of eugenics.

[Buckeye McFrog]

It compares ultrasounds of the fetus with pictures of Nancy Pelosi.

Why do you think that's a problem?

[AppyPappy]

Oh no. They will be a Democrat!

Look at how powerful Planned Parenthood has become today, and you realize that the Germans may have lost World War II, but the Nazis sure won.

[Alberta's Child]

LMAO x 100.

[Rurudyne]

I recall back in the 90s as abortion mills in West Texas were shuttering that Planned Parenthood was still able to keep them open in proximity to black or hispanic areas.

Stephen Hawking wouldn’t see the light of day.

[adorno]

They’re being optimistic there.

They may/could also predict the predisposition of an embryo to be homosexual/transexual/etc., and that could eliminate a huge voting block for democrats.

[Doogle]

....yeah,but they have ears like Odungo....smell like Hilda,...and lie ....like the media

[E. Pluribus Unum]

Adolph would have loved this!

[Blueflag]

exactly

[RegulatorCountry]

If Democrat women start making exceptions to what they have heretofore believed to be sacrosanct, which is a woman’s so-called right to choose, then they’re on the slippery slope to questioning the entire premise. A blob of tissue doesn’t have intelligence at all. It may be that there’s a silver lining to this, but I’m not holding my breath, we are talking about Democrats here. They do love their baby killing.

Saw the movie....

[2nd Amendment]

Bingo where are democrats going to get their voters if morons are weeded out?

[mountn man]

Half of all babies are below average.

Watch what happens if they find the gay gene.
