You're doing that thing where you dehumanise people and make assumptions about situations you know nothing about.
When you have children already and you're faced with difficult situations that will greatly impact their quality of life, you might suddenly realise the extent of the scars you would take on to your own soul in order to protect them.

This is what I am talking about. Why is there scars to bring a disabled child into the world? That is what is dehumanizing. That is why in countries that allow suicide, they allow perfectly healthy autistics to commit suicide. The disabled are nor considered fully human
You've misunderstood my comment. Many parents choose to abort disabled fetuses because of the negative impact they believe it will have on their children. They will take on the burden of having an abortion, including the belief they may go to hell over it, because they believe it is best for their family as a whole.
It's nothing to do with "valuing perfection over life." It is looking into your children's eyes, the ones right in front of you whose wellbeing is your highest priority, and deciding what is best for them. You might disagree with their choice, but that's not the point.
I can only imagine you've never been in that situation to think that's what's going on when parents go through that heartbreak.
Also, because you mentioned autistics, I have Asperger's. My oldest child is very likely neurodivergent. These things factor into people's decisions when weighing up whether they can realistically meet the needs of potential future children. This stuff is complicated, and people who make different choices than you would are no less human.
Both of my sons are autistic so I am very attuned t o how the disabled are treated and thought of. I also never said those making these decisions are not human. I said I wished they viewed their disabled unborn children as human.
