Richard Dawkins: ‘It Would Be Immoral’ to Give Birth to A Child with Down’s Syndrome

59. Of course you disagree. That is what happens when you are blinded by privilege,

something you might point out in others but not recognize in yourself.

Justifying Dawkins position by saying that you would use the same data just makes this even more objectionable.

Please understand this - the reason that the numbers of those that chose to abort is so high is because it is based on those that have chosen to have the test. When a woman makes that decision, she has almost always already made up her mind that she will have an abortion if the test is positive.

This is not a random finding or something that one sees on an ultrasound. This is a conscious decision.

Those that think they have the right to decide when a woman should have an abortion are just as bad as those that think they have the right to decide when a woman shouldn't have a abortion.

You and Dawkins have absolutely no right to make any kind of judgement on this. None.

I'm the sexist here? Please. Your position on this ladder is blinding you. Authorizing destruction of embryos is nothing like having an abortion. Arrogant and presumptuous? You have no idea of the implications behind that decision.
