If your Foetus is diagnosed with down syndrome do you Abort?

It's also a tremendous burden on the non developmentally disabled siblings, who usually wind up with the responsibility of taking care of their brother or sister once the parents pass. It's something potential parents need to take into account when wresting with this decision, because you're basically passing the responsibility onto your other children.

I'm not saying that should affect the decision one way or the other but it's something to consider.

This is my first opinion.

Here in the united states mentally retarded people are not a burden on any siblings, families do not want these people, so they go to group and private homes, where families supossely take care of these people for more than $2500 a month each person, group homes take more money than private homes, (they are a big burden on taxpayers). Mentally retarded people go to day programs to spend the day, they get back home, they give them some food and there they go to their locked rooms till the next day, most times they tie them up, (something illegal in my state)so they will not bother anyone in the house or if they get violent. Is that a way to live?
We should know by genetic tests if the person is going to be mentaly challenge, so women could terminate a life of missery to someone that never asked to come to this world.
It is funny that here in this forum and everywhere else, men are against abortion, controling women has to end, this fanatic conservatives it reminds me of Saudi Arabia, Iran, afganistan, where they control women too. Women should decide, after all men will never get pregant.
It is not fair that mentally retarded people come to this world, and they are abused over and over.
That tax money should be well expend in other places in the United States.

What a glittering jewel of ignorance.

If your misrepresentations even approached the norm, you would be living in such an institution.

That post is plated in 24K ignorance, dipped in idiocy, and served with a side order of stupid.

To actually parse the length and breadth of it's assininity would overload the server.

Luckily, even a retarded person could ascertain it's lack-o-sense.

With insults you won't discredit me, prove me wrong, come on try.
It happens a lot with with fundamentalists when you don't have a valid argument, you attack the man itself.

[j2k4]

...the man itself.

There is something wrong with that phrase - can you guess what it is.

Now you made me laugh. Anyway merry Christmas to you and yes I know what it is, thanks for correcting me I apreciate it.

I am loathe to even attempt to clarify that which is so flatly self-evident.

To do so would be presumptive, you see.
