Pat Robertson of CBN and the Christian Coalition asked those with this philosophy, "Would we have been better off if there had never been a Helen Keller or Beethoven or Einstein — all of whom had "birth defects?"



Helen Keller and Beethoven were NOT deaf due to birth defects. They both originally had their hearing but lost it,
Keller lost hers following an illness and Beethoven, it is theorised, lost his due to physical abuse from his father. His father used to beat him about the head.

Even if this is true, there are some who would want to kill the disabled AFTER BIRTH. Killing the disabled BEFORE or AFTER birth is wrong.
