re: #74 Shug

It’s a pretty slippery slope to do a late term termination because of the dangers of impending “special needs”.

if not eugenics, then what do you call it.

Eugenics refers to systematically altering the gene pool of a population, by encouraging the reproduction of people with desirable traits, or discouraging the reproduction of people with undesirable traits.

Abortion of a fetus with abnormalities so severe that the child could not survive to reproduce has no effect on the gene pool. If a pregnant woman decides to do that, or not to do that, the decision is made for other reasons, reasons that one might or might not find morally acceptable.
