They have been conditioned to think that it is no big deal. They have been taught that they don't need to worry about having sex, because there is a quick fix if a "problem" arises.
It is a mindset that women have been indoctrinated into by the media and the left.
Exceptions are women like the one in the story, who already has a child and is trying yet again for a perfect one. She knows what she had, and what she did. She is evil.
Is someone who performs an evil act evil, even if he has been brainwashed to believe that what he is doing is right? I'm not sure.
I don't see any indication that she is trying for a "perfect" child. There's a big difference between "not perfect" and "no possibility of ever being self-sufficient". Give that she has a 5-year-old daughter already, her decisions may be based on concern about saddling this daughter with responsibility for both aging parents and a physically-mentally disabled adult sibling at the same time -- not about herself.
I have a cyberacquaintance who is trying to have a second baby, and will not consider having a Down Syndrome baby (she wouldn't be having an abortion either, as she's doing IVF and would have chromosome testing before any embryo was transferred into her). But when she was trying for the first child (also IVF), she chose not to do any embryo screening, because she and her husband had decided that they would be happy to have a Down Syndrome baby. Their different thinking re the second baby is not based on selfishness, but on concern for their existing child.
Your value system may be very different, but I don't think it's fair to assume that everyone who chooses not to continue a Down Syndrome pregnancy is just a selfish jerk who's insisting on a "perfect" child as some sort of status accessory.
OK, you are right..
.they have been conditioned to believe they have power over their bodies....or.
..this is only about a 'product' of conception.....or
the 'law' says we can.
Even given all those arguments....do you really believe most women have no idea their product of conception is a .....baby...
..not even a basic idea.
Do you think they believe they have a mosquito...
or a silkworm or
...a prairiedog ...in their bellies?....even when their bellies are rounding and growing at say....4 months, 6 months or more...gestation.
Yet they abort.
teenyelliott....what would you call it?...if not evil?
I really want to know.
