21. It is a generational responsibility; and those were not little children. I should have added that.

I've known parents of severely disabled children who asked their adult children if they would sign on to be guardians of their brothers and sisters. Often times, they do not feel they want that responsibility until their own deaths or the death of their sibling. And some people need someone to take on that duty.

But I posted that because the question is being asked about a person not agreeing to bring that life into the world, knowing that the child will be disabled. The poster had questioned that choice.

Different beliefs affect people. But in all cases, flesh and blood will bear the consequences and it is not the right of these politicians or religions to force it on anyone. Because when it's all said and done and the situation is life long all those smiling faces will not be there to help; they are not there right now. They get tired of their charity cases and toss them aside. And the consequences I've seen can be horrific.

The Libertarian view of getting rid of all social services and letting the all powerful family and church take over, over some principle they claim to uphold, does not work in the real world. I know a lot of Democrats who do face this real world with compassion.
