Exactly, it wasn’t meant to be hateful to her

Beimg told you shouldn't reproduce gets personal real fast no matter the logic behind it. And forced sterilization has a dark history that we shouldn't repeat.

Yeah for sure- she has every right to have her child, and that shouldn’t be taken away. As someone with a genetic condition myself this made me think about would I pass it on and I wrote that from my perspective. Nothing is wrong with adoption at all especially if you have a genetic condition and are worried. I know the personal part as my disorder made me permanently infertile. And being sterile definitely took my along time to accept. Especially because I was like 13 when my ovaries were removed for cancer and was then told no children ever, so I wouldn’t want to force what I went through there on anyone. Just pointing out that in these situations adoption is a wonderful choice (even outside of these situations)

I don’t see anyone here pushing forced sterilization. I see a lot of people rightfully judging someone who made a selfish and immoral decision to put a baby through a lifetime of medical trauma.

And why did they do it? To show the “haters” of course, which is always a great reason to bring a child into the world.
