Ella Whelan speaks against stopping abortion up to birth for babies w/ Down's syndrome on Talk Radio

Ella Whelan speaks against stopping abortion up to birth for babies with Down's syndrome on Talk Radio.
Máire Lea-Wilson was placed under pressure to have an abortion when a 34-week scan revealed her son had Down’s syndrome.
Heidi Crowter, a 26-year-old woman from Coventry who has Down’s syndrome, together with Máire Lea-Wilson from Brentford, West London, whose two-year-old son Aidan has Down’s syndrome, are challenging the UK Government over a disability clause in the current law that allows abortion up to birth for Down's syndrome.
They have announced they will seek permission for the case to be taken onto the Court of Appeal, after the High Court announced they have rejected the legal challenge.

    In response to Ella's views ... It is a blatant and totally unacceptable level of discrimination on the basis of disability - the kind of discrimination people have fought to stop for a very, very long time. If I walked up to a disabled person in a supermarket today and attacked them on the basis of their disability and then killed them off, I would be in the national tabloids immediately labelled as a 'beast' 'monster' and a few other choice words.

    Kermit Gosnal, an American Doctor who ran a clinic specialising in Late Abortion, is serving a full life sentence without remission, for the murder of thousands of new born babies. He is America's biggest serial killer !!

    Ella Whelan talks much about women's body autonomy. So she must be in favour of girls who wish to self-harm doing so. She must be in favour of girls committing suicide which is decision about the state of one's body. Somehow, I don't think so. It is only in the realm of sexual ethics that she demands that women have this self-proclaimed autonomy. She is right in the sense that it is an attempt to change abortion law. It is an attempt to make those in the womb who have a 'disability' be treated the same as those who do not have a 'disability.' Is that unfair?

    This woman is awful, absolutely no understanding of the subject matter, obviously no personal experience with disability as of yet in her life. The case is only about discrimination based on disability. They don't want to limit a woman's freedom. If there is harm to the mother any baby can still be aborted up to birth, that's not the part of the law they wish to change. They are fighting to change the lesser regard for a disabled life. They want the abortion cut off the be the same if you have a disability or not. Are you willing to say that all babies can be aborted up to birth, if the woman decides they can't look after it. No, that would be awful, that is where a woman would be told they need to place the baby for adoption. The law needs to place the life of all people in the womb on equal footing, at the moment all disabled children are endearing the world that has from birth, by law, dictated that they are less worthy of life than their non disabled sibling or friend or Co worker. No wonder abilism is so rife in this world, the law is allowing eugenics to be implemented by doctors and parents that have skewed information of what a disabled life is. What it is, is a human life, equal in every way, the law needs to be changed to reflect that, it's discusting that it has taken so long, and the opportunity has not been taken this last week to put it right
