Dawkins sparks outrage for saying Down Syndrome babies should be aborted

[Dystopia]

Sure it's not the nicest thing in the world to say, but let's be real, who really wants a down syndrome child?

Someone who really wants to be in-your-face with the whole "Sanctity of life" thing.

I would be more careful with words if I were you. Just because someone chooses to not abort a down syndrome child, that doesn't mean they want to impose the 'sanctity of life' idea (and btw, according to the declaration of human rights life is indeed precious) - But from a literal perspective no one voluntarily chooses to have a down syndrome child.

I consider that having a child with down syndrome is as brave as aborting the unborn child with down syndrome. Some women are really against abortion but open up the exception for a baby with a mental illness, they go against their ethics because they want to do what they believe is best for their future kid, others will abdicate from important parts of their lives to take care of a mentally retarded child, I see both options as valid. I don't agree with 'promoting' abortion for handicapped babies, just like I don't like Christians and Muslims going around calling women murderers for having an abortion, I don't like people saying abortion is a thing to be done. It's a decision and that's it, no need to say 'someone should do it' or 'someone shouldn't do it', it's none of your fucking business, I could have 10 children with down syndrome if I wanted to.
