Kate Cox, one of the Bidens’ State of the Union guests, was brought specifically to twist the narrative regarding women’s healthcare. We hear about Cox leaving Texas to kill her child, yet they failed to mention that the child’s disorder, Trisomy 18, does not endanger the life of the mother. Many children live with Trisomy 18. This wasn’t a case where Cox’s life was in danger, but selective killing of a child with disabilities.
Instead of applauding Cox’s “courage”, look at the full picture. This is not healthcare, this is eugenics. Where is the outcry from the ARC, UNICEF, and others who champion children with disabilities? Would the public cheer if a group home were targeted, and its residents murdered? Why didn’t Biden cheer a mother who was caring for her child with disabilities?
