Since no one else is going to point this out
Everyone is talking about Jimmy Kimmel’s newborn son, specifically about him talking about the need for universal healthcare
This is his son Billy
He looks like one of his parents was an emoji :p So cute
He was born disabled
Jimmy Kimmel never use the word disabled, just like and no one else is, but he did do a good job of explaining how up until recently people like Billy (and me) were simply not allowed to live and if things keep going how they are going America is going to be like that again very soon.
I also want to point out one specific thing he said
He didn’t say “if we had known we probably would’ve aborted him”
I hope all of you follow suit and stop campaigning for legal abortion with eugenic propaganda
Abortions for everyone!
But if you don’t want to disabled child, don’t have a child. Both Billy and myself have disabilities that couldn’t be detected until after birth and that’s the case for a lot of people (children) who were born disabled. On top of that, your child could become disabled at any time. Yes they could get hit by a car but they can also become chronically ill. Unless you’ve done DNA testing on your child you’ll never know if they even have a genetic condition. I wasn’t diagnosed until I was 2 and I’ve met a lot of people with the same genetic mutation who didn’t get diagnosed until they were teenagers. Of course their condition was better than mine but they are still disabled and they still have a terminal disease.
And none of them should have to hear your bullshit about how hypothetical babies will suffer because they are disabled.
Or gay
Or trans
