Pages: 1 2 3 4  Next -- Posted by musicfan3 at 3:18 pm on Sep. 16, 2008 So a little while ago my teacher was telling our class the story of him and his wife who were never able to have kids. They adopted a few kids and soon after they were able to have a kid on their own. But the kid turned out to have Down's Syndrome. He mentioned that with the new sciences and technology that its getting easier to detect this condition because its also becoming more common in babies born today. What do you think? -- Posted by ManiacPenguins at 3:19 pm on Sep. 16, 2008 Abort that little shit. -- Posted by Permious at 3:19 pm on Sep. 16, 2008 I wouldn't keep a decent child, never mind one with DS. I'd definitely abort. -- Posted by Permious at 3:20 pm on Sep. 16, 2008 Quote: from ManiacPenguins at 3:19 pm on Sep. 16, 2008 Abort that little shit. wow that was a bit much -- Posted by jazzysolovely at 3:20 pm on Sep. 16, 2008 well...its the parents decision. -- Posted by AcidSilence at 3:20 pm on Sep. 16, 2008 My first instinct was "what the fuck of course id fucking keep it." But you then you think.... I dont want to put somebody through all the torment and hatred if i could stop it. But its a life! But what if they were in extreme pain and extremely depressed, and i was my fault? But what if they werent... -- Posted by Sarge at 3:20 pm on Sep. 16, 2008 For that exact reason, I wouldn't want to know if it had it or not. -- Posted by PrincesSita at 3:20 pm on Sep. 16, 2008 abortion is killing, so no i would never abort it. -- Posted by SacredSecrets09 at 3:20 pm on Sep. 16, 2008 I'd keep it... they're people just like you are and if God chose you to have a child like that... it only means that you're strong enough to handle the challenges. -- Posted by OverTheAir at 3:20 pm on Sep. 16, 2008 Abort. -- Posted by 2kewl4u2know at 3:21 pm on Sep. 16, 2008 More often than not, they're actually wrong.  I wouldn't abort.  If anything, I would take this knowledge and use it to prepare myself as best as possible for when the baby comes by researching everything I can on it and talking to doctor's and other parents who have gone through this to gain some insight on the situation. -- Posted by RockerTori106 at 3:21 pm on Sep. 16, 2008 Keep it. ....and your poll doesn't correspond with what you're asking. -- Posted by anc8469 at 3:21 pm on Sep. 16, 2008 No, the baby can't help that he was born that way. -- Posted by ManiacPenguins at 3:22 pm on Sep. 16, 2008 Quote: from Permious at 3:20 pm on Sep. 16, 2008 Quote: from ManiacPenguins at 3:19 pm on Sep. 16, 2008 Abort that little shit. wow that was a bit much How?

I fucking hate retards. you're more of a heartless cunt than i am. what the fuck is wrong with you? Fuck you. I don't give a fuck. I hate children, and even moreso, hate retarded children. -- Posted by musicfan3 at 3:29 pm on Sep. 16, 2008 Me I'm not so sure. I think there are many cons such as the pain and humiliation at the hands of other people who just don't get it.  Having a disability myself I'd had people say things about me to others that weren't even true. Lots of them don't take the time to know me and in the place where I live your reputation is everything. People listen to rumors and things like that then base their opinion of you on that. Its sad but its true. Other times people are nice to your face, but not behind your back. I've had many people that I thought were my friends, but then they say things about me that were mean. Often times they go tell my sister asking her questions like "Why's your sister so retarded?" but they never try to have a conversation with me. Other times I'm convinced that they just want to use me. For example, my classes are so far I'm allowed a pass in case I get there late. At my school if you are late to class then you go to tardy hall. Sometimes kids will lie to the teachers and say that they were helping me when they wasn't so that she doesn't send them to tardy hall. -- Posted by LittleBombs at 3:30 pm on Sep. 16, 2008 Keep. -- Posted by musicfan3 at 3:30 pm on Sep. 16, 2008 Quote: from AcidSilence at 3:20 pm on Sep. 16, 2008 My first instinct was "what the fuck of course id fucking keep it." But you then you think.... I dont want to put somebody through all the torment and hatred if i could stop it. But its a life! But what if they were in extreme pain and extremely depressed, and i was my fault? But what if they werent... Exactly. -- Posted by musicfan3 at 3:32 pm on Sep. 16, 2008 I think the worse part is if my kid with DS thought "What would I be able to accomplish in life if I didn't have DS" I do think about my disability like this a lot. -- Posted by Mattie17 at 3:48 pm on Sep. 16, 2008 keep it -- Posted by musicfan3 at 4:05 pm on Sep. 16, 2008 To the people who say keep it are you saying that because you're against abortion or are you saying that with interest to the child? If you say keep it how would you cope? -- Posted by Miss Prophetess at 6:32 pm on Sep. 16, 2008 Keep it. My cousin has Down's Syndrome.  She is very well cared for and loved, and she's very happy, always smiling.  She graduated high school (not a special high school, either...she was in public school) and has a job.  It's a great success story. It's hard raising a child with Down's Syndrome, but the raising just shows more love if we're willing to put more into it than we would have to for a normal child.  It wouldn't change my love for that child if he/she had a disability, either. -- Posted by kupal vibes at 12:00 am on Sep. 17, 2008 i'd abort it. out of all disabilities, i hate retardation. -- Posted by musicfan3 at 2:26 pm on Sep. 17, 2008 Thanks for all the replies everyone! Looks like from the poll results abortion is the majority opinion.. -- Posted by womendontlikeme at 3:12 pm on Sep. 17, 2008 Quote: from ManiacPenguins at 3:22 pm on Sep. 16, 2008 Quote: from Permious at 3:20 pm on Sep. 16, 2008 Quote: from ManiacPenguins at 3:19 pm on Sep. 16, 2008 Abort that little shit.    wow that was a bit much How? I fucking hate retards. Damn! You must hate yourself! -- Posted by Chava at 3:41 pm on Sep. 17, 2008 It wouldn't be easy but I would never abort a child. Pages: 1 2 3 4  Next
