The World Without Disabled People
Give this some thought… what would the world be like if everyone aborted there babies, as soon as they found out there may be disabilities? Would we even have a telephone? Or the famous Mickey Mouse? How about airplanes? I keep asking myself..What if Beethovan’s mom was somehow able to find out that he was going to be deaf and decided to abort him ? Or Albert Einstein’s mom said..” Well, he will never learn anything and so will be a drain on society as a whole” and decided to abort him? I thought I would add a list of famous people who had some sort of disability. The second list is composed of people who have learning disabilities..
