		<description>It is true that the rights vs. responsibility spectrum is oftentimes unbalanced, but that's what Child Services was created for. I realize Child Services can't catch everything (and in fact miss most things), but at least they try to do their job.

Meanwhile women who get pregnant without the ability or desire to take care of a child give a bad name to the rest of us. I personally want two kids, one boy and one girl, and one of those adopted, but I know that if I get pregnant before I'm ready, I better put that child up for adoption.</description>

		<description>Going to have to disagree here.  Just because they are free to make the choice doesn't mean they should choose to do it.  Intentionally creating children be they disabled or not that the system is forced to support is not the mark of responsibility.

However the point I made stands.  Severely disabled women having child after child simply trying to get one right is one of the greatest marks of irresponsibility there is.  It also as someone else on Digg pointed out makes a good legal case for child endangerment.</description>

		<description>The issue about disabled people having children is absolutely wrong. That is their personal choice to make and none of us should play any part in it. Disabled people should be equally as free as anyone else, free to have children and live whatever sort of life that they wish to live.

Really, when you talk about "Reproductive Responsibilities" you should be talking about people that are not disabled not living up to the responsibility that comes along with having children. Those people are the ones costing us millions and millions of dollars. Not the disabled.

		<description>This is where I must disagree.  If reproductive rights exist, they are the sole purview of the one carrying the fetus.  There is absolutely no "we are pregnant" to be had in the world.  I can't look at my pregnant wife and say "we are pregnant" with a straight face.  There is also the fact she would have more than a few choice comments for me if I did...

I am not disagreeing that there was male involvement, or I hope to hell there was because any fertility clinic providing her services would be so far out of line I don't even have words for it.  The sperm donor certainly has a responsibility to the children after they are born, but none up until that point.

This is why I am not overly sure there should be a legal right to reproduce, because it doesn't cross the gender line.  If legal reproductive rights carried over to the man, he would be completely justified in insisting she have an abortion or that he shouldn't have to financially support the child.  Since we can't do that, it is obvious the right does not transcend to us.  If the right was equalaby the same token a woman would be able to tell the man who forbids her to have an abortion, fine you are completely responsible for the child after it is born and be able to legally walk away from both of them.

Not that it matters really there is a good chance the father(s) of these children is probably fetish minded.  Disabled girls are a big one I am at a loss to explain.</description>

		<description>I agree that people with such blatant genetic issues should not reproduce themselves and if they had any sense they would not wish to.   However your way of looking at the situation is all wrong.  You view it as a women issue.  It is in fact a social issue.  That gimped up dwarf female did not get pregnant by wishing it.  She had some degree of collusion from a male.  Either he agreed to try for children with her (with all the attending responsibilities)  or he was totally reneging *his* responsibility in favor of some quick pu**y from an individual whose sanity and mental competency is already questionable.    And where would you have it stop?</description>
