The only issue is that sexing and other genetic tests can't occur until eight weeks in. This leaves about a month to have both the prenatal testing appointment and said abortion. As of my speaking, only at-risk mothers are even allowed access to pre-natal testing at eight weeks. I'm not going to go as far to say that it's oppressive against poor people who can't access pre-natal testing, since they can always get an uninformed abortion, but if they are only able to find out that they're kid is retarded after an abortion deadline that rich folks aren't privy to, then that is pretty unfair.

You can have exceptions for retarded babies, but it is liberals who won't allow that because it implies retarded babies are less valuable.

I know, and I agree that they provide subjectively the same value. But some people prefer objective approach, even if they are poor and/or unable to access elitist medicine.

Nope, not true in the slightest. Liberals are pro - killing your baby if you find out in the womb that they have a disability

After 10 weeks of pregnancy, I support abortion in exceptional circumstances. The foetus being retarded is one of these reasons. Which isn’t nice, don’t get me wrong, but people who can’t raise retarded children and who don’t know anyone willing to adopt retarded children have their hands tied.
