content: I agree.  The use of someone's living child is pretty insensitive.  But I don't think their view should be silenced.  I also do not support more draconian "policies" against so-called hate speech.    This wasn't hate speech, it was insensitive.  But the mom doesn't have the right to not be offended. She's receiving criticism for bringing a child into the world who has severe disabilities and will need constant care until the day she dies.  This could be, and maybe is, a drain on society.  It's only fair that societally we have discussions about it and decide what we want, as a society, to have happen in these cases. As far as I'm concerned, while the person who wrote the tweet should not have used her picture, what they said isn't wrong. The mother made a choice to have the child, and subsequently the care of the child should be all on her.  We shouldn't be forcing society to take on the responsibility for someone else's decision. I personally think abortion is wrong.  But I don't want it outlawed.
