161. Let's Talk About Abortion & Disability

You’ve probably seen the recent debates about abortion in the news and on social media. We’re not here to get political but these debates do give us the opportunity to call out a huge issue: people on both sides see individuals with disabilities as less than human. And today we’re talking about it (as best as we can). Because we acknowledge the amount of support it takes to raise a child with Down syndrome and the way that having certain privileges makes things a little simpler. And we also know that our systems don’t support our children well once they’re born. So much change needs to happen.. and we think changing the perception of Down syndrome is a good place to start. You’re invited to sit in this discomfort and uncertainty with us as we discuss disability, abortion, and the value of a human.
