The Special Olympics, by the way, is a private charity with $61.3 million in net assets that gets only 10% of its funding from taxpayers and enjoyed a $1.8 million surplus in FY2016.

I'm sure Democrats who see abortion as the cure for Down syndrome and other disabilities are sincerely concerned about kids having the chance to be in the Special Olympics

This is the official position of Democrats. Their criticisms of

The idea that **killing** children with disabilities is just fine but reducing taxpayer funding for a private charity that will still flourish without it is "cruel" is demented. But that's the Democrats' position.

And that's why Democrats' outrage about a fraction of its funding is so fake. The Special Olympics proves people with disabilities can live meaningful, fulfilling lives. It's a powerful monument to the value of all lives—the same lives Democrats are fine with seeing snuffed out.

As a Democrat with a child with cri did chat syndrome, let me allow to say it is the GOP who let me live in fear that my child will die from inadequately funded health care, who let his education suffer because bootstraps or something. YOU HAVE DONE NOTHING TO RESPECT MY SON.

I have written against prenatal selection against disabilities. Yet I will take the Democrats every single time over your fatuous bullshit shows of faux-respect.

I defy you to tell me I am not devoted to my son. How DARE you.

"at least we aren't aborting you" is a great way to prove you see special needs kids as fully human

As someone who has worked with special needs people for over a decade I could not have said this better myself.

You are, and I cannot stress this enough, an absolutely despicable human being.

I know folks who have struggled with the reality of discovering their very much wanted pregnancy has gone terribly wrong. These flippant comments are so very unkind and traumatizing.
