depends on whether or not you identify the soul with the body. i dont, i take it that the soul can choose another body to be born into, and live and feel.
that being said, i agree, disability doesnt mean that life is not worth living.
i used to live with a man whose adult sister had down syndrome and it had its treasures, she brought a lot of love into the world. however, the stress on the family was immense. therefore, i hold it legitimate to try to avoid such a situation.
I don't believe a soul can choose another body. Killing a downy kid before it's born is robbing the experience of life. I put myself in that kids shoes and ask myself if I'd rather be dead or exist as a retard, and I will always pick life. I cannot then say abortions are morally acceptable without being a hypocrite.

throwing race, gender, and disability into one basket is ridiculous. as i see it, disability is a valid abortion reason, the rest isnt.

I don't agree. Even on the extreme side of the scale, I'd rather live a few agonizing minutes than know nothing of feelings or life.

thats why it needs to be a private issue not to discussed or judged by virtue signalers.

different experiences and perceptions lead to different beliefs that draw different conclusions. i respect your opinion.
