Dear Rhonda,
I was thinking of you, as I was watching an anti-abortion video on the Pro-Life website, yesterday. I remember Dean asking if you were Pro-Life and you saying that you were, for healthy babies. I was standing, right there. The fact that I'm on the Autistic Spectrum does not make me sick. The thing that added to my anger, is that when I've challenged what you've said about "healthy babies", you've asked me, "What if your unborn baby had Down Syndrome or Aids?" Let me tell you something! I've cared about adults, children and babies with Down Syndrome, my whole life! How could you have asked such a bigoted question to somebody who has a disability, herself? It's true that I don't have DS and it's true that I'm average, or above in Intelligence, but how could you do it? I've ended up having to wear Depends, two Decembers ago. I bet that you would have murdered me, or locked me up, in an institution, because of that, if I was one of your grown children. All children are precious in my eyes and God's eyes. What decade are you living in? The 1930s and 1940s? I wonder about people like you. I also don't like the way that you treat the more needy people at Stepping Stones. You treat the developmentally disabled members, like children or group home residents, who need to be physically guided. You've tried that trick on me, and that's the reason that I don't go on the Saturday outings, anymore. If my unborn baby had Down Syndrome, or Aids, I'd keep it, b***h! I'd also raise that unique individual to be a valuable member of society, who will be able to hold down a real job, as well, unlike most people who think that people with developmental disabilities are defectives who should be limited, because Nazis like you think that they're defective. What brought this along? I was watching an anti-abortion video on the Internet, and I saw footage of an actual abortion taking place in a mother's womb, that's what brought this on, so don't look at me, like I'm insane, for bringing this up, nine months, later.
Sid, who's exactly like Sid from 'Flushed Away' but who has no problem with that reality of hers, who is successful, because she volunteers at a soup kitchen once a week, and will stay there, until she's too old to be able to move around a kitchen.
Proud, autistic Sid :O)
