#sometimes i feel like people think theres some divinely ordained ratio of genetic disorders in the population

Maybe this is an unpopular opinion but I dont think selective abortions based on genetic traits of the fetus count as eugenics. And I say this as someone who has several traits that could be targeted for in vitro. I think when people say that theyre misunderstanding what is wrong with eugenics in the first place. The problem with eugenics is not that it causes less babies to be born. The problem is that it denies babies to people who want them. Its a reproductive autonomy issue. You cannot counter eugenics by forcing people to carry babies they do not want. You can provide education and support to ensure there arent outside social forces impacting that decision, but at the end of the day not every parent is willing to care for every child and it is their right to abort that pregnancy because it is their body. End of story.
