Still, equating families making incredibly tough decisions to end the life of the embryo because of a massive birth defect that would cause a lifetime of heartache for the parents to nazi behavior is nuts.

It's especially nuts considering we have actual nazi behavior in this country, and all that some can manage is "...yeah, but".

My first kid was born the day after my 41st birthday. The Mrs. was 33 at the time... A few years younger than when they really suggest that you have this test for Down Syndrome. I still remember them asking us if we wanted it. I thought about it for weeks, and decided I didn't want it, because I didn't want to put myself in the position to even think about making this choice.

This "story" is trash. I'm certain that 99% of everyone who made that decision to end the pregnancy agonized over it. To paint this as some eugenics project is weak.

I don't like abortion either. Humans suck though. They are always going to pay for sex, do drugs, and act irresponsible when they face an unwanted pregnancy. There will always be abortion. There always has been. A necessary evil if there ever was one.
