What if the baby is disabled?

I assume you mean if it's already born? Chances are they already knew, if not and they aren't willing to raise the child then they can put it up for adoption. The kid can have a chance for a loving family who knows what the disability is to find him/her.

Jewel in VIRGINIA do you know those DEMOCRATS want to kill children after they are born! Bet CNN did not make you aware of that !

"[Third trimester abortions are] done in cases where there may be severe deformities. There may be a fetus that's nonviable. So in this particular example, if a mother is in labor, I can tell you exactly what would happen," Northam, a pediatric neurosurgeon, told Washington radio station WTOP. "The infant would be delivered. The infant would be kept comfortable. The infant would be resuscitated if that's what the mother and the family desired. And then a discussion would ensue between the physicians and the mother."

On the rights of the handicapped and mentally ill, and racial minorities:

"More children from the fit, less from the unfit -- that is the chief aim of birth control." Birth Control Review, May 1919, p. 12

I'm assuming "antichoice" means that I'm opposed to aborting a disabled baby.

When a person decides who lives or dies based on physical and/or mental characteristics, it's called "eugenics," and it's a tactic employed by the Nazis during the Holocaust.

There are literally people on waiting lists to adopt mentally and physically disabled children. There's no need to kill them.

That's a horrendous distortion. Eugenics isn't a tactic. It's a science. It has nothing to do with killing anybody. Until World War 2 Eugenics was studied as a science in North America, Europe, Russia and Japan.

"Until World War 2 Eugenics was studied as a science in North America, Europe, Russia and Japan."

Exactly. Until World War 2. It fell out of favor pretty quickly after the world found out what the Nazis were doing. In the early 1920s, long before the Nazis began killing those people they deemed unworthy, proponents of eugenics were obsessed with propagating a "Nordic race," and keeping it "pure" from "inferior races." The idea that some people are inherently better than others, due to race or a physical/mental disability, is a dangerous one on which to build a philosophy.

If you have Amazon Prime video, a good documentary to watch is the PBS movie "American Experience: The Eugenics Crusade."

Well said Birdie...

It's truly sick that the Democrat Party, along with our Liberal media, has conditioned women to actually think it is ok to kill disabled babies.

Without God, it seems people can be conditioned to support any barbaric thing.

When we watch those Special Olympic kids competing on the track fields, we need to understand that the Democrat Party supports the right to kill them when they are viable lives in the womb, for merely being special needs.

When mankind puts it's own selfish desires over the lives of those they deem disabled or Special needs, we witness the self consumed evils of mankind.

I am disabled, and I have had a shit life. It is not fair that i was born. Life with disability is a fate worse than death. We would not have this problem if we sterilized disabled people.
