C&P: Disgusting post on 2nd tri
The OP (and a few others) went from discussing whether or not they'd abort if their child had Downs Syndrome to "kids with special needs make others uncomfortable and that's bad."
I almost didn't respond but had to at the end. https://community.thebump.com/cs/ks/forums/2/34232788/ShowThread.aspx

Aiden is gorgeous and I'd throatpunch anyone who said otherwise.
this.
I just read the whole 11 pages. Trish, your responses were beautiful. And I also liked what MSC had to say at the end.

Oy. Ignorant people who act like the world revolves around them and their tainted emotions make ME uncomfortable...but that obviously hasn't stopped anyone from reproducing.
I sincerely hope that they are never in the position of having anything but a textbook pregnancy/birth/child...
Oh my god. First of all, I lurk on this board every once in a while. I started reading in the hospital when my daughter was born prematurely, before she passed away, and I guess old habits die hard because I always find myself wanting to see whats going on over here. I have read several of your stories, and you are such an amazing group of strong women.
Anyway, I just wanted to say that the OP.... and several of the women who replied completely disgust me, and probably anyone else who gave birth to a premature child that passed away... who would give ANYTHING to have that child back, no matter what "abnormalities" they had. Even if that means taking care of them for the rest of our lives.

Ummm... I see only adorable perfection. I love that picture.
They're ignorant a$$hats for the most part. Very few voices of reason there.
Oh I know Aiden is beautiful as are all of the babies I see on this board :c) I am just in a pissy mood today for some reason lol! I think it's because I have been cleaning house. Yeah thats it!
I am pro choice so I don't have a problem with someone making such a personal decision. What really got to me was how special needs kids made them uncomfortable or the one comment about about how the mothers of special needs kids must feel resentful or disgusted by their babies! Aiden never disgusted me even when he was first born and a lot of people were uncomfortable looking at pictures of him. I thought he was more beautiful than any baby I had ever seen. I don't resent one minute having to give him meds, or drag wires around the house when I carry him. It doesn't bother me that he might have learning disabilities caused by a brain bleed he had early on. All that matters to me is that he is mine and I love him and even if he had a worse case scenario and developed CP I can't imagine it would change the way I feel.
betizzle- I saw your response on that horrible thread and just wanted to give my condolences on the loss of your daughter. And I'm sorry you saw that horrible, horrible thread.
