That may be the best use of that meme I've seen. I appreciated the chuckle.
I mean, genetics are genetics.
I may have epilepsy and am strongly considering getting a vasectomy so I don't accidentaly create a fucked up kid that can't live normally.
Adoption is always an option an all'at. And plenty of romance can happen without kids... Hell, ESPECIALLY without kids lol.
Your personal choice is yours, and nobody can comment it. But making it a legal interdiction? That's something else entirely. People with disabilities or illnesses can live long, happy and meaningful lives. Even more so if the society weren't ableist.
Yea maybe not that far
Did not expect eugenics to make a comeback in 2026 😭
Really? I've seen it creeping into the collective conscience for at least a few years now.
I mean, if you could screen your kid for known debillatating chronic diseases, you probably will, no?
Will what? Kill them?
Abort a child who will live their life in pain. It won't only be pain, for sure, but it will mostly be a life where their ability to interact with life will be severely limited
It's a hard topic, but I can probably say that my partner and I would probably abort and try again
WTF? That's not only ableism, that's basically nazi eugenics, claiming that disabled people are less entitled to life than able-bodied children.
No, I won't kill my child due to disability. I will love my child no matter if they are disabled or not. I am not an ableist bigot.
I think you're trying to make this more binary than it needs to be.
If they're born mentally disabled, I will love and care for them and do my best to provide them all the opportunities life has to offer. If I can prevent them from being born with a debilitating illness, I will do my best to do so
You didn't include that middle part originally. Abortion is preventing them from being born full stop.
What debilitating illnesses are you referring to? Down syndrome? Autism? Cleft lip?
Yeah I did, go up a few comments. It seems like you're not arguing in good faith. Perhaps its best if we block each other
You said the answer to being pregnant with a disabled child is abortion. That's eugenics. Plain and simple.
