This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

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.
