re: #298 Last Mohican

Making fun of a child because of a medical problem is extremely disgusting, no matter who does it or for what reason.

Suggesting that a woman is wrong for carrying a Down syndrome baby to term, i.e. that she should have been forced to have an abortion, is the antithesis of being “pro-choice.” I have never known a person who felt that way, or even seen such an argument in the vast expanse of the internet. If you know people who so argued, then they have no right to call themselves “pro-choice,” and I can’t imagine that they would represent any significant percentage of those who do.

It is definitely the antithesis of being ‘pro-choice’, but I saw and heard more disgusting things out of people last year who consider themselves to be members of the party of ‘nice’ and ‘tolerance’ and women’s rights/feminism than I care to think about.

I still don’t believe abortion should be decided one way or the other at the Federal level.
