Where do you lie on the political compass?

depending on the disease there can be a high probability that their child or then grandchild will have the disease. some of these diseases can have absolutely horrible effects that cause a lot of pain and suffering of the individual and those around them. i cant see how it would be conscionable to let it occur when its likely to happen.

 

I thought you were pro life? Don't you believe abortion is wrong even if the pregnant woman's life is in danger (or am I thinking of someone else). And then you say something like that? Doesn't that seem a bit hypocritical?.

Anyway, just to use one of pro-lifers favourite arguments against them, you just killed Beethoven.

 

 

But this isnt even the issue. Not allowing someone have a child, is not the same as abortion.

In regards to beethoven though...Deaf people are more than able to live happy, healthy, and productive lives within our societies. So i wouldnt even classify it like that.

 

and i am pro life, but thats not my correct position

 

Ok...I don't really feel like jumping in on this....but I feel I must.

 

The question asked:  Do you think couples with hereditary diseases should be allowed to reproduce? And you said "no"...but you didn't say anything (and neither did the test) about having sex.  Now we all know that protected sex prevents unwanted babies...but the forms of protection often fail...or are neglected.  So if the government were to forbid couples with herditary diseases from procreating (again, which is difefrent from having sex)...an emergency abortion would have to be conducted.

And that's the rub.

Unless you wanna be rather strict about it and count the moment of conception as a reproduction, and thus a forced abortion wouldn't prevent reproduction.
