Nearly 99% of people with Down syndrome report being happy with their lives; 96% like how they look; 97% like who they are. So when abortion activists say that abortion is an act of mercy, they don't mean for these happy people. They mean for themselves. Pure ableism.

Man, there are a lot of trans activists saying girls need to just get over themselves and realize this is no big deal. Apparently if your feelings and instincts don't line up with an ideology our culture got on board with 15 minutes ago, trans activists want girls to shut up.
