she does have a low functioning autist brother but i assumed the obgyn told us that its a recommended test, regardless of any family history. of course im sure it would have came up eventually since i think its common to think about everything that could go wrong when you're pregnant.

well except then they'll demand that public education gives them private tutors and healthcare to fix all the hosts of problems at the taxpayers expense and subsidize their willingly downie. then if the parents somehow outlive their downie, the downie will become homeless, possibly violent or something and will end up in jail taking up space and costing you money. at least smokers pay taxes on cigerettes and alcholics pay alcohol tax. there should be a down syndrome tax

It's a standard test that they offer to every pregnant woman nowadays, so it's pretty normal for it to come up in conversation. Especially since some women decide that they're so sure that they'd keep it anyway that some of them refuse the tests (even though the tests are covered by insurance, or in the case of California, paid for by the state.)

The worst thing that could go wrong when you are pregnant is that you have a kid. I mean, I guess you could have a kid with Issues, but either way you have to raise some feeble-minded piss and poo poo machine with no recourse save for the sweet embrace of death.

If there are no kids with down syndrome then all the sexually repressed baseball coaches are gonna start going after the normal kids and loving them up for life.

If you have a downs baby you are just dooming yourself and it to an early, slow, stressful death. That is not good for anyone.

But I mean the baby can smile so I guess that's pretty happy right.

I have nothing but scorn for anyone who purposefully brings this kind of kid into the world. It's one thing if the dice rolls and it happens, that's life. To otherwise know and just go "but it's OUR BABY :byodame:" because of some stupid bit of human ego that makes you think you and your offspring are somehow special isn't brave, it's selfish.

People have been using the 90% statistic for abortion of Down's fetuses, but it's only in Europe that 92% of them are aborted. In the US, it's 67%, which means the US is going to end up with 4 times as many down's syndrome sufferers per capita if they don't do something about it. More actually, given the higher birth rate. Apparently the trend has been the exact opposite of that in recent years though, with more people deciding to keep their Down's babies. Makes me glad to live in Denmark, where free screening and a more lax attitude to abortion means the last Down's baby is going to be born in 2030 if the trends of the last decade holds.
