It sounds like Indiana legislature is considering a bill that denies abortion when fetus is deformed for disabled. If that is true who pays for a terribly disabled child as long as it lives, when the GOP in Indiana supports ending the safety net and cutting workers wages, and is against job security?
Cannot believe the insanity piled on insanity. This story was mentioned on Chicago progressive radio news.

(23,156 posts)the first woman forced to give birth to a deformed or disabled baby because of this, needs to march as soon as possible to the Indiana legislature and drop her baby off there. Let them deal with it.
Okay, so leaving the baby is a bit harsh, but they need to get a clue about the realities of such situations.

(32,861 posts)As the mother of a developmentally delayed child. I love with all my heart, wouldn't change a thing. But it devastated my family financially for 19 years. We have almost no savings because we spent two decades paying doctors who saved his life time and again... These evil rotten people have no idea what they're doing. I just keep thinking I'm in an alternative reality. This cannot be happening.

(23,156 posts)simply have not idea how difficult it is, how physically, emotionally, and financially draining.
Heck, having "normal" kids is quite the full-time job, and there's not enough help out there even for them. But a child with disabilities of some kind? Those lawmakers are, as you put it, evil rotten people.
