    not all of them, if you have a down syndrome child and you want to have that child and support it for the rest of your life, then no. I think most people would be grateful to have this information in the early stages of pregnancy.

    Denny, you're just repeating in effect, "The law is the law." As a supposed non-statist thinker, you should be offering moral arguments, not just parroting code sections of legislation.

    I'm not parroting anything. The woman has a right to use her body as she sees fit. Nobody else can make any claim to it until she's done with it. Then her family can bury her corpse or burn it or whatever.

    You can't possibly believe that, without limit. You're just repeating brief slogans instead of fleshing out the issues.

    I absolutely believe it. Absolutely. As in "absolute."

    When she clubs you to death, should I remind you of your belief, or just watch silently, in respect of your crazy belief?

    I would rephrase it. Every state has laws in place for anyone that is a harm to themselves.

    Or is this some "pro choice" banter for just killing the fetus?

    That has no relevance to the article. It's a response to Denny on his thinking of a woman can choose to do whatever the fuck they want to do with themselves.

    Hyperbole. Job well done.

    Then again... You are okay with people to decide to kill a fetus because the child isn't smart. What's next, we can keep killing them until we get 180 min iq?

    And have sex with their donkeys

    Seriously... If you can decide on what type of baby you have, then why not stop. It's a woman's choice right? If there was a system to understand the IQ, then why stop there?

    Sure, but let's go back to the topic at hand. Richard Dawkins thinks it's immoral to bring in a Down Syndrome baby. I think he's a stupid fuck for saying something that stupid

    I think we can agree that it is not immoral to bring them into the world........ Do you think its moral to force these women to have babies they dont want to have and then expect them to care for them for the rest of their lives?

    Are you asking if I agree or disagree with abortion? If yes, I think you got me confused with someone else. I think a woman can choose if they want.

    What I'm talking about is the "Hitler type" statements with Dawkins saying "it's immoral to bring a child with down syndrome to this world". Dawkins is no better than the bible thumpers that want to force woman to have the babies.

    I wouldn't want my family to abort, but it's their decision.
