Richard Dawkins
Ireland is a civilised country except in this 1 area: http://www.newrepublic.com/article/119147/ireland-abortion-case-reveals-draconian-horror-catholic-law … You'd think the Roman Church would have lost all influence.

@InYourFaceNYer@RichardDawkins sorry I was picking up on the suggestion it is immoral to bring a child into the world with a disability.

@kerryhood @RichardDawkins It is an interesting dilemma. What about people on the autism spectrum (which I am)? Where would u draw the line?

-
@InYourFaceNYer People on that spectrum have a great deal to contribute, Maybe even an enhanced ability in some respects. DS not enhanced. - View other replies

@RichardDawkins@InYourFaceNYer Who decides who gets to do the utility/suffering calculus? Very slippery slope indeed. - View other replies
-
@argyle_argylist@RichardDawkins This is true but it's like RD has said before, we should be able to discuss taboo subjects. -
@InYourFaceNYer@RichardDawkins Not arguing for censorship. I think Dawkins is wrong. Arrogant to decide whose suffering is worth living. - View other replies
-
@argyle_argylist@RichardDawkins He's expressing his opinion, not suggesting enactment of laws against having kids with disabilities. - View other replies
-
@InYourFaceNYer@argyle_argylist@RichardDawkins u seriously think he would not argue in favor of these laws? This is the start for him. -
@salgiuliano@argyle_argylist@RichardDawkins No, he wouldn't argue in favor of such laws. But don't take it from me. Ask him. -
@InYourFaceNYer@argyle_argylist@RichardDawkins this is the way this douche works. Starts w theory until shock of idea wears off on society - View other replies

@InYourFaceNYer@RichardDawkins I grew up with two disabled bro's and as usual a lot of the comments on here just show reactionary ignorance -
@Papa_Gooch@RichardDawkins He just gave his opinion. He didn't say that there should be laws forcing abortions for such children. Jebus. - View other replies

@InYourFaceNYer@RichardDawkins Agreeing with Richard and blaspheming in the same post. Class -
@Papa_Gooch@RichardDawkins Didn't say I agree with him. I think he was misunderstood, however. -
@InYourFaceNYer@RichardDawkins All things should be up for discussion. Regardless. Ppl reacting to things they've just read pisses me off -
@Papa_Gooch@RichardDawkins Yes, but I also think something contentious like this belongs in a blog. -
@InYourFaceNYer@RichardDawkins It's better to talk about things than to just give an opinion IMO. But that's me. It's good to disagree :)

@InYourFaceNYer I've 2 autistic sons. I would never have aborted them, even had I known about their ASD. They have made me a better person. -
@ms_christinak I too am on the spectrum.

@InYourFaceNYer@kerryhood You may look at Sparta - or the 'Third Reich', which apparently gives inspiration to@RichardDawkins. -
