We Know What's Best For The Little Woman

By way of [livejournal.com profile] vixyish: Read, and read. And then, after you're done throwing up and gnashing your teeth and cursing these fucking evil moron Puritan babysitter wannabes to the skies, act, and act.

ETA: Honestly, gang, while I appreciate you asking if you can copy a link, you can pretty much assume that if I put the links up here and tell you to go do something about them, [a] they're reasonably safe, at least on a browser/system security basis, and [b] it's okay to copy 'em to your own LJ or wherever. Dang, but I've got a polite buncha friends. :)

It's not done on healthy, normal infants.

Viable, certainly but not commonly. Down's syndrome children can live, after all. And often, Down's can't be detected until the second trimester. 90% of parents facing a Down's pregnancy will abort. Those are more commonly done by saline or injection.

It's not done on a whim or out of convenience.
It's done because a wanted pregnancy has gone badly wrong.

The real question when it comes to abortion is "Are women actually intelligent enough to know what's best for themselves and their current/future families? Or are they just stupid, selfish monsters that men need to keep on a tight rein?"
