I'm sick to death of the implication that all liberal women would abort a fetus with Down syndrome
I wish they'd stop implying that prochoice means that we're all having abortions just for the hell of it. I'm 100% prochoice but I wouldn't abort a fetus just because it had Down syndrome and I don't think I'm alone in holding that position. The assumption that we would all abort a Down's baby holds an ugly insinuation that disabled babies have no value by virtue of their disability. What utter bullshit. The republican party is just proving the theory that they're really only pro-fetus and don't give a god-damned once that fetus is born.

You compromise your dubious position when you fail to consistently call a BABY a BABY.
And for the record: I think you assholes have abortions just for the sport of it. Just to say you did it. And I think some of you have punchcards: eighth one free.
