Dawkins sparks outrage for saying Down Syndrome babies should be aborted

Hey so I guess I'll jump into the pool yay! The way I see it I'm always Alaina (don't call me Laney or else!) first. The geek. Bow down to the queen bitches!

I'm not sure how to comment on intellectual disability since I have none. However I want to make this point, if you are planning for a child and the fetus happens to be disabled unless you can't afford to take care of a disabled child there is something a little unsavory about choosing abort because a pre-planned kid because it's not going to be the way you want. And I do know taking care of a disabled kid is freaking expensive. So I totally understand aborting the disabled fetus cost wise.

I seem to remember my wife being given a batch of tests to see if any of our children had some very specific ailments to give us the option of abortion. I can't remember what the tests were for, my youngest is almost twelve, but it was definitely a thing back then.

If you are pro-choice than what better criteria to choose than a fetus with a defect?
