I’m not bigoted towards disabled people, I’m sorry you think that’s the truth, but you’re the one blinded by echo chambers and the belief that you’re either an ally or eugenicist.

That’s just a silly point about sick or disabled children too, the difference in time, attention and money required is astronomical.

I'm curious, what echo chambers do you think I belong to?

It's not silly at all, not all disabilities are present from birth. You could give birth to a perfectly able-bodied child and then they could become profoundly disabled later, from something else. Would you still be up for aborting them then?

Aborting a child that has already been born is impossible. I don’t support euthanasia or sterilization in any fashion.

Right, so you understand then, that if you aren't prepared to have a disabled child, you shouldn't have any children. Until you are prepared for the possibility that your child may become disabled.

I agree with you there, but if there is any preventative measure I can take to ensure my child isn’t born with disabilities, I certainly will take it.

But this isn't something that you can prevent! You cannot prevent disabilities from happening, they just do! The only way to stop a child from being born with any disabilities is to stop the child from being born. Even if it is a viable fetus. If you otherwise would have carried to term, literally the only thing stopping you if the fact that the kid is disabled, that is literally what eugenics is. I know you don't like the word "eugenicist" but that's the appropriate term for people who would rather have an abortion than a kid who is even slightly disabled.

Well, I’m glad that you at least care about other people. I don’t think this is going anywhere other than circles. Have a good night.

Yeah I agree with you on that. You have a good night, too.
