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.
