See, I just threw religion out and came up with a solution for atheists to stop this carnage.

Not really.

Rights of the woman come first.

Otherwise you're advocating restricting her rights.

Technically a fetus has never been recognized as a citizen. The constitution protects citizens.

It's sad, but what's the alternative? Will a Down Syndrome baby really have any real quality of life, ever?

Or babies with other disorders. Would babies like these really be better off being forced to suffer?

I thought it protected everyone within the borders citizen or not? That's what the loony Left keeps saying.

I feel the same about gender confused people. They have no quality of life, might as well get rid of them early.

So you admit that being LGBT (that is, whom I'm assuming you're referring to) is innate rather than a choice.

Quality of life can vary tremendously. Some are able to work and live well in group homes. Others aren't. And of course there's no way to tell before birth.

Not sure of the exact stats but I feel like life expectancy among people with downs used to be late teens early 20s. Now many are living to be much older and out living their parents.

I know someone who was desperate to have a second child because her first was severely autistic so there would be someone else to take care of him after she died. I understood her reasoning but quite a burden to put on someone.

Downs Syndrome can place an extreme workload on the parents, there' s no equivalency here.

There's no need for lame attempts at placing words with the left just because the loony right is unable to distinguish the difference between a fetus and a person.
