I remember reading somewhere that in Iceland, only 2-3 babies with Down Syndrome are born each year. The rest are aborted, just because they have Down Syndrome. It’s the most disgusting thing I’ve ever heard of. I also heard of a mother whose doctor detected DS in her baby and SUGGESTED an abortion over anything else. Obviously, she replied “Heck no!” She said in an interview that she was absolutely mortified that her doctor even suggested that.

I also watched a documentary about parents with children who have severe cerebral palsy. All of the comments said “Thier bodies are just shells. They don’t deserve to live.”

Pre natal scans for Autism are being pushed for. And that most likely means more abortions to come.

This is the world we live in. People literally think that we don’t deserve to live just because we have an extra chromosome, or our brains work differently, or we can’t move our muscles. This is the world that ableist people have built, and pride themselves for “improving humanity.” But they’re not improving humanity. If anything, they’ve proved they’re inhumanity to the world by spouting such nonsense. By saying we don’t deserve to live. By supporting and even PERFORMING eugenics.

If you’re reading this, please know that you deserve to live. Your disability makes you wonderful and unique, and the world is a better place because you’re here. Don’t listen to the ableists. They’re totally and completely wrong.
