Richard Dawkins: bigoted against those with Down's syndrome?

51. He's suffered with it for 50 years and is 71. And you are way out of line about RW talking points.

I'm prochoice for abortion as a matter of family and know those who have contined their pregnancy and those who have not. A fetus is not a child.

But women don't need some patronizing man to tell them what is and isn't immoral about their choice. I support all choices, but not some man telling women what to do.

I would like an apology for you calling me anti choice, as anyone who knows me has learned I am rabidly prochoice and against men telling us women what to do with our bodies and our reproductive lives, but am unlikely to get one.

I'm not enamoured of any man telling women what to do with their bodies it truly offends me to have anyone tell me as a woman and my friends who made whatever choice they decide as 'immoral.' I've argued with Libertarians on this same issue about the cost of care of the disabled. That was the mantra the Nazis used.

How many of the people I mentioned do you know personally, since you take me task as a RWer, how many have you taken to get abortions, or helped them when they chose to not have an amnio and abort?

If you want to attack me about women's rights, walk a mile in the shoes of those who didn't know what kind of disabilities their children would have or those who support others who become disabled and need care.

The one who is started this is the man who called not aborting 'immoral.' Women don't need his manly input. I will not, nor will the women I know weho have given birth to disabled children that they didn't know would be, be judged by them.

Nor will I judge them for giving birth when they did know their child would have Down's. It's the woman's choice. Period, end of story. And so are the consequences.

Liberals are for choice and the right to choose. Nowhere did I say that choice should be taken away, and I will not call their choice 'immoral' nor give a man quarter for demanding they give birth or upbraiding them for deciding not to give birth.

You've been here since March, no problem, but you might want to go over my Journal and see my many posts on the absolute right of women to choice. I won't accept a man telling women the choice they made as 'immoral.'
