I think if I were the mom I would have pummelled the lady. Not pretty. This mom responds to a cashier who implies her son with Down Syndrome should have been killed.
Like the cashier who gave me sad eyes and spit poison in a whisper, “I bet you wish you had known before he came out. You know they have a test for that now…”
Shock, horror, hurt and fury coursed through my body. I considered jerking her over the register and beating her senseless. I looked her up and down; I could take her.
Instead I used wit. I smiled a crazy lady smile. “I know right?! It’s so much harder to get rid of them once they come out. Believe me I’ve tried…” Jackpot! Her mouth dropped open, and she stared at me in shock. I leaned over the register and whispered to her, “What you’re saying is that it’s OK for me to kill him while he’s inside but not outside? In my book there isn’t a difference. For the record, we knew everything about him during my pregnancy. He’s our son now, and he was our son then. There is no way in hell that I would let any harm come to either of my children, including during the time that they’re so ridiculously considered disposable.”

Oh boy. If people have the gall to tell mothers they could have had their children destroyed, surely people can have the courage to tell pregnant women on the way to an abortion clinic why they shouldn’t. The cashier felt pity, horror and fear on behalf of the women in front of her instead of pretending she was just a robot; it’s too bad she was so ignorant.
