I agree that if it is going to be done, then it should be done safely, in sanitary conditions.
However I can't agree that a child was killed simply because there were two autistic parents. This action brings up 2 questions to me:
1) Why was the baby killed? Could it not have been born, then adopted? Having 2 autistic parents in no way guaranteed the child would also be autistic(please correct me if I'm wrong)
2) Has either of the autistic individuals been sterilized? If it has been deemed (through the abortion) that they are unfit to be parents but have had sex, isn't it a more responsible action to make sure that another innocent isn't killed, by sterilizing one or both of them?
