selective abortion: eugenics
it sounds like hypocrisy, but with selective abortion the woman is not defining what's acceptable in her body, she's deciding what kind of people are desirable to bring into the world. it's a different motive, and therefore different ethics
@dangerdyke This still sounds somewhat confused to me, so my attempt:
leaving the abortion decision to the pregnant person: cool, good
a specific abortion: might depend on the situation
Although I also think that deciding to bring a person into the world means you should influence the person at least in some ways (take your prenatal vitamins people!), so maybe I actually disagree?
@dangerdyke Well, no, you just made a general post about morality though, which kind of implied much more than that.
And I also think that I wouldn't prevent a person from having an abortion if they wanted it purely for the reason of not wanting to have an autistic child, even if I thought what they were doing wasn't right. Although I'm not sure you disagree on that.
@dangerdyke Also sorry if I'm doing any "reply-guying", feel free to ignore me and the discussion if I overstepped.
