From the origins of human history and probably predating that by millenia, women have either killed or allowed to die those infants who were perceived to be not viable over the long term.
It's universal to human history and I'll not fault them for it.
It's one thing to make that choice for yourself to carry and nurture a child that has no chance physically and/or mentally. It's a whole 'nuter program if you seek to compel every woman and family to carry that weight.
It isn't about her. That is the first thought that should go through a pregnant woman's mind. There is no easy pregnancy that is not full of pain, worry, and misery. Bringing a life into the world is hard dangerous work.
No one has the right to judge a life worthy of existence -- not even the woman who carries it. Duty and morality are not options we can simply shed when they become inconvenient.
That’s disgusting. Nobody has the right to decide who “has a chance” or to limit what someone can achieve. I just read about a child born without part of his brain. All the doctors said he’d be a vegetable, but he’s fine.
Doctors are wrong all the time. All kinds of people have been told they were having Down Syndrome babies, and the babies turned out perfectly fine. If you can’t handle a special needs child, give it up for adoption.
and slavery fits that same description, very long history among humans, I guess you wouldn't fault someone for taking slaves?
