Unpopular opinion: If I knew my unborn child would have a severe disability that would require lifelong intensive care, I would seriously consider termination. Not because I don't value disabled people. Not because I lack compassion but because love alone doesn't provide specialized healthcare, financial resources, emotional resilience, or round-the-clock caregiving. Raising a child with profound disabilities can demand sacrifices that affect parents, siblings, and the child themselves. People should be allowed to have honest conversations about whether they are truly prepared for that responsibility without being shamed for it.

@davidshor Would you attribute this to Nixon actually losing due to fraud in 1960?

Conservatives attributing Pratt's loss to election fraud is another great demonstration of this paper that shows that across 30 countries reflexive cynicism is associated with low cognitive skills and poor academic performance. Folks need to strive for better epistemic hygiene!

@real_jerseylee @mattyglesias “The labs are running around telling people their product is dangerous and should be taxed and regulated as a ploy to pump up their valuations” is a such a perfect demonstration of the thesis of this paper journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/01…

🚨 Hot Take: There's nothing as evil as deciding to bring a child into this world with the full knowledge that they'd be born with a significant disability that would affect them for their entire life.

Have you heard of anyone terminating a pregnancy due to a cerebral palsy diagnosis? No you haven't. Why? Because it's a birth injury. Every argument for aborting a baby with a Down's diagnosis could be turned on newborns who develop cerebral palsy. Cerebral palsy is often a worse disability than Downs. In its most severe cases, the child becomes a paraplegic who requires 24/7 care. I don't know a single person with Down's who requires that level of care. Yet you're now recoiling at the thought of killing a newborn because they were injured. It's morally abhorrent to kill anyone with a disability, wherever they're located. Transfer that feeling to the baby with Downs too.

@IfindRetards It's important to realize that what was detected was an incredibly small chance of Down Syndrome, so they most likely killed their perfectly healthy baby.

These two terminated the birth of their baby at 21 weeks because they found out the baby had Down Syndrome. They recorded reactions and monetized it then complained about backlash saying they are "grieving the loss of their unborn baby" you killed the unborn child! I hate these people

@GreeneMan6 Obergerfell is one of the worst decisions in SCOTUS history. An entire generation of people now see it as a super-legislature, not bound by any type of process or procedure. Simply a place where you can get your policy imposed on everyone else when you fail at the ballot box.

I almost certainly said something similar in 2015. Young guys forget how hard the Gay Marriage rout was in 2015. The "conservatives" who brought the legal challenges to gay marriage during the Bush admin were then publicly endorsing gay marriage and declaring their previous positions "bigoted ." The only thing you could say to other conservatives was "brace for impact".

This was gay compromise at the time.

@CathyYoung63 California's Prop 187 in 1994 passed with 58% of the vote. Soooo that pretty much debunks this.

@RichardHanania Richard, why would there be a limit to when you can euthanize a person with Down Syndrome? If it's for their own good, why not be able to do it post birth? From your ethical point of view there really is no difference, it's not like the birth canal is magical.

This guy walked into a buzz saw. For most normal people, of course you abort in that situation. You wouldn’t even think that people would get mad about it. It’s what everyone does in that situation. But X is not representative.
Jesse Ridgway@McJuggerNuggets

I’ve never seen such hate and vitriol for two people grieving the loss of their unborn child and making an impossible decision. The last 24 hours have exposed a side of humanity that is deeply disturbing. Being called “murderous pieces of shit, evil, compared to Hitler” and receiving NON-STOP DEATH THREATS. Seeing my 6-year old dog with Stage 4 Kidney Disease be used as a weapon, manipulating my words and intent in a tweet or saying we’ll regret this decision forever and must repent to God is absolute insanity. If you ever wanted to marvel at the depravity of people online, just check the replies on my latest tweet. It’s a shit-show of epic proportions. This is reflective of the current world and landscape we’re all living in. What’s more troubling is a lot of these people use God or Jesus as their justification for threatening us and wanting to cast us into Hell…seems pretty hypocritical. So many saying they would’ve kept the child, put it up for adoption or are suddenly ready to adopt a down syndrome child, that’s great! You can do all those things. However, many of the people throwing stones don’t even have children, let alone one with a condition and most likely will never do the things they say they’re going to do. There has been some heinous shit said about my wife and I on some extremely large accounts…It baffles me that there are such trashy-ass people who have significant followings. If you can’t contribute anything meaningful to the conversation aside from insults then just don’t post. On the other hand, there has been tremendous stories of people who kept their Down Syndrome baby and that’s awesome! Very courageous and they do look very happy! That is your choice and I support it. This was ours and we can do that. It’s very easy to accept the differences between us when it has no actual bearing on your life. What shocked me most of all was that this story has become mainstream news…A couple’s abortion is suddenly newsworthy in 2026…? There are over 1,000,000 abortions every single year for a myriad of reasons, this is happening on a DAILY BASIS and is the most common outcome for Trisomy 21, yet this one blows up and people are surprised…? The reason this blew up is quite simple: IT’S BECAUSE NOBODY TALKS ABOUT IT. I can’t blame people for not talking about these vulnerable experiences publicly because you see the disgusting backlash that ensues. It’s very divisive. Luckily, after 20 years on the Internet, this is par the course for me taking on the crazies, so I’m glad I can help further the conversation. That’s exactly why I wanted to share this story. People still need to see vulnerability and hear the raw truth. There is real suffering going on and it is being done in silence and fear. So many mothers have reached out privately commending us on our bravery to speak truthfully about this topic and we really appreciate that support! We want you to feel less alone in this and less ashamed. There has never been a more important time to speak up and out about the things that matter. Do not let the vocal minority stop you from sharing your truth. To those who have been affected by this or are confronted with a similar situation in the future, we have your back and please feel free to reach out. I’m sure this will follow us awhile especially when we try for a kid again in the near future. (CONTINUED)

Wait, this is the supposed "Nazi tattoo"? I don't buy for a second that 99% of people seeing this would have the slighest idea it has anything to do with Nazis or Hitler. They'd just assume it's a generic "skull and crossbones" that a certain type of guy would think looks cool

I'm not going to go on and on about this because obviously the factional warriors driving the campaign don't care what I think, but it's just obvious the party and the country would be better off with a different nominee — it could just be Troy Jackson or whoever lefties like.

Here's the chair of the Independent Women’s Forum, the right-wing group where Lyndsey Fifield is a fellow, bragging about helping draft Susan Collins's remarks when she voted to confirm Brett Kavanaugh. Fifield is NYT's main source, and the only one alleging anything physical.

The NYT story on Platner is out, and it does not remotely live up to the hype from Senate Republican operatives on here. Neither here nor there, but to hear a lifelong Republican operative -- who co-hosted for years a popular DC podcast with her best friend Bethany Mandel -- complain about a Democrat being too into assault weapons and axes is so disorienting. I thought Dems were the snowflakes and Republicans were the rugged ones? (Side note: when else should you sharpen an ax if not while watching TV?)
