“Disability is not a brave struggle or ‘courage in the face of adversity.’ Disability is an art. It’s an ingenious way to live.” – Neil Marcus.
FAVORITE. QUOTE. EVER.
I am pro-choice, but I have a lot of difficulty with people who abort disabled children because they don’t think they could handle parenting a disabled child — or just because they want a “perfect” child. My feeling is that if you don’t think you can handle parenting a disabled child, you shouldn’t become a parent at all, because you might have a typical child who then becomes disabled through illness or injury, and then you’ve got to step up.
One of the things I find so troubling about prenatal testing is this idea that you can protect yourself against having a disabled child — as though we’re not all one illness or injury away from disability. It’s a symptom of our culture’s full-scale denial that difficulty and fragility are the hallmarks of life, not its pitiful exceptions.
