True compassion is equipping women to build strong, healthy pregnancies so fewer problems ever arise — not telling them to end the life of their child when challenges appear.
When President Donald Trump announced Tylenol can cause autism, leftists suddenly gained compassion for the disabled. This is strange, because usually they advocate killing them.
Trump said acetaminophen, the primary active ingredient found in Tylenol, used during pregnancy is linked to autism in a press conference on Sept. 22. He repeatedly urged mothers not to take it unless absolutely necessary.
The left responded by defending autism, arguing the disability does not need to be cured — since autistic people have value. This is strange, considering they support assisted suicide and aborting disabled people when inconvenient.
Although autism is a disability that can’t be detected in the womb, leftists advocate abortion for similar disabilities, such as Down syndrome. But after Trump’s announcement, leftists are pretending to have compassion for the disabled.

Demonic people that deserve to hang by their entails. I am the father of an autistic child and thank God every day for him.
That’s ALL the left stands for is government and death.
