Gotcha. My dad's parents also tried to correct my dad's lefthandedness. They had his teacher tie his left hand to the back of his desk so he couldn't use it.

They didn't, I did. I don't understand, I used the conservative term concerning myself and never questioned anyone else's politics. If you are inferring something from this, I suggest you stop. If anything you can take from all of this, I did imply the cold and heartless part.

soon there will be tests that say "your fetus is blind" do you want to abort? you don't want to deal with raising a blind child. i guess people only want perfect kids. what happens if there are no signs until a later date (happened to my cousin when her son entered prek they discovered he had asperger syndrome) do you have the child put to sleep?
A little dramatic here, doncha think?
Have him put to sleep?
Once they're viable, that's really not an option, unless you choose to commit a murder by US laws.

I believe a woman should be able to abort as she chooses.
No matter what the reason.

Good thing it's not up to you to choose.
A woman gets to choose for whatever reason she may have.
It's the law of the land.
Anyone who would take a woman's rights away is the despicable one.

Hell no I wouldn't abort. Someone who would choose to abort for not having a 'normal' child is not fit to be a parent, period.

Cleanhouse and several other people called anyone who supports abortions liberals as though it were a bad thing.

Natalay mentioned it early on, yet the Rs continue.
If they don't like the choices a person makes, they automatically name call and demonize them.

It doesn't matter what you choose; it has no bearing on what anyone else would choose to do.
How are adoptions of severely handicapped kids going?
Decide what to do with your own life, stay out of everyone else's.

If they are not fit to be a parent, it's better off that they are aborting.

The government isn't weighing in here, a bunch of controlling people are.
It's none of your business what another person does with her body.
Period.

I cannot see ANY pro-choicer aborting a fetus just because the fetus is gay. A Republican? Maybe, but only if no one found out they went against their ideology and had said abortion.

I think the bolded statement says a lot about you. Most parents *I* know, were just happy their baby was born healthy and sexual identity wasn't even on their radar.

I don't care what the circumstances are, I will abort any fetus that ever grows in my body. I don't want children.
Thank goodness I'm a lesbian and I don't have to worry about pregnancy.
