I was reading this earlier in the morning. She went for prenatal testing and they handed her a flyer about abortion. She was like "ARE YOU CRAZY??? NO WAY!!!"

She had to go through an ordeal to find people who would help her.

This is socialism.

Also, I was mildly surprised to find no one had posted about this yet.

This was done to my ex-wife and I also about 25 years ago. During her pregnancy one of the tests indicated possible downs syndrome. The doctor was very quick to suggest an abortion. We choose to have the baby and my youngest daughter was born perfectly fine.

It’s absolutely incredible how we standard monitor for impending Down’s Syndrome now.

It’s in itself a tense time, just knowing you have to check and may find out something Untoward. It was extra tense for me because I was old and had never had a baby, and they tell us we old women much more likely have DS babies.

But it’s almost as if the medical people WANT to know so they can abort the baby ASAP.

They don’t test for too many other issues, not standard, anyway.

First they want you to kill it because “it’s not going to have a good life”. Then when its born the 2-faced liberals gleefully parade how “caring” they are by propping up all the organizations regarding DS and speaking in fawning concern for them.

Libs, we know you thought they should be dead.

That baby has a right to life like any other preborn human.

When I was shopping for OBs during my first pregnancy, I went to a hospital that allowed midwives to do the delivery, but there would be an OBGYN on call in case of an emergency. The doctor I saw talked me through what the next 7 months would look like. She said I’d have the option to do prenatal testing and terminate if I wished. I just got up and walked out right there. She was shocked, as I don’t think that had ever happened to her. All I remember about her personally was that her hands were ice cold, and weirdly skinny. Like shaking hands with a golem. In that initial handshake I thought to myself, “I don’t want these hands to be the first thing my baby feels coming into this world.”

In retrospect it makes me wonder how many babies she had killed.

During my pregnancies when I was 31 and 33, the pressure to get tested was INTENSE! I had to say no 100 times! Maybe only 20, but you get the point.

“Why risk the 1% chance of killing my baby in a test that will not change anything about the pregnancy?”

“Don’t you want to be prepared?”

“Do you know anyone who’s prepared to become a parent?”

End of conversation.
