I’m very sick of people, including pro-choice and women’s rights activists saying “well I could never have a disabled child” especially in regards to abortion

If you utter the words “I could never have a disabled child” YOU SHOULD NOT BE A PARENT.

Your child can become disabled at anytime. You could have what looks like a completely abled infant, and when they grow up you realize they have autism. You could have a completely healthy and abled child who gets in a car accident and becomes paralyzed. Your completely healthy child could get meningitis and suddenly become non verbal due to the swelling of the brain. You should not become a parent if you “can’t handle a disabled child” because there is ALWAYS a possibility of having a disabled child and if your child becomes disabled for whatever reason they deserve parents who don’t feel like they are or a burden or who “can’t handle a child like that”
