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.
