She’s smart enough to say she “doesn’t know if she wants a baby” and smarter then the people who would even ask this question.

[@CarlLoProduccions]

You can Eat a bucket of shit, people asks because they want to know.

[@bearbenton5945]

Why? They're just curious. Welcome to reality, where people don't know everything. You're the problem.

I want everybody to know and I'm not trying to put everybody down and I need you to listen carefully. Just because a woman have down syndrome does not mean she can't have children. Every person regardless of their disability can't have a children. I don't care who you are just believe in God for a miracle

[@FatherDingo]

gods and miracles don't exist. If you can't explain something, it is not a miracle, you are just ignorant to the fact. I'm honestly tired of people and their make-believe.

[@margaretyocke5348]

Then she could have one of those kids.

Aww they are so cute. I don’t think they should have babies. It’s not fair to expect them to do such a huge task. They can’t understand and by the time they understand partially their stuck pregnant it’s too late. They can’t properly and legally consent to sex therefore they shouldn’t be allowed and burdened with being pregnant. It’s exploitive. They have the brains of a 9 year old and younger and they’ll never grow and develop past that. A grade three can’t be pregnant.. for a reason.. it’s statutory rape.

[@CdnDownSyndrome]

Adults with Down syndrome are adults and can make decisions about their bodies and whether they want children. It's important for individuals with Down syndrome to be supported in their decision making and have all the information they need.

@@CdnDownSyndrome yah how are they adults? Intellectually? Physically? They can’t drive, understanding voting, have limited education, they can’t work, they don’t even get paid minimum wage for their time. They get treated as a second class citizen. Even for jobs that require no intellectual exertion they get underpaid for due to their disabilities. They aren’t respected by the law, they aren’t protected by the law. They have few freedoms, they need constant supervision. How exactly are they fit to be able to consent to sex and being pregnant? They are at a high risk of birth complications that’s if they manage to get through 24/7 pregnancy for nine months. To allow them to be pregnant is about as logical as letting them drive. How the hell can they provide for a child? I don’t understand how their adults? Define adult? Cause their tall? Have genitals? Cause they rot? Rotting / aging doesn’t mean you’re wiser. They don’t have the rights, privileges of being an adult or a citizen therefore how are they adults? Anyone who allows them to have sex has failed their duty of care and is enabling statuary rape.

[@Penisrules]

@@CdnDownSyndrome an adult is someone whose considered fully developed. How the hell are people who’ve got the brains of a 9 year old fully developed? Just cause they look like adults doesn’t mean they are. You’re so superficial, vain, immature.

Glad we stop using the word Mongol, it has nothing to do with the Mongolians.

[@franzjosephaque2066]

It is a euphemism for children with Down Syndrome.

[@margaretyocke5348]

They are called mongoloids.

[@roybandwagon9073]

Hmm is it more disrespectful to people with downs or the Mongolians?
