Bad idea to ban trait-selected abortion, IMO; but I would just allow it as some people would just do abortion on their own anyway.

This issue can’t just be boiled down to ableism; it is a large reason for the potential abortions. Ableism is a symptom of capitalism. However, some people don’t have the resources to take care of a(n) (autistic) child; some persons got raped and they got pregnant. Is it “ableist” to abort an autistic child then?

    I’m a guy and I just don’t think it’s my place to really have an opinion that would involve me judging a woman’s choice to have an abortion or her reasons. The last thing I want to do is make women feel more anxious about getting an abortion by introducing another factor of external judgment into the equation.

    I’ll add that just because very few women openly admit they regret having kids, that doesn’t mean it isn’t a thing. If someone isn’t able to afford proper care for themselves much less a kid, I damn sure am not going to judge them for having an abortion. I will however judge the fuck out of guys who feel they have a right to judge people in a position they’ll never be in.
