That, however, didn\u2019t stop two soon-to-be-married Texans, contestants on Netflix\u2019s hit reality dating show \u201cLove Is Blind,\u201d from debating whether they would abort their baby if he or she had unwanted physical or mental qualities.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLove Is Blind\u201d encourages single young adults to blindly communicate with each other in \u201cpods\u201d separated by a blurred screen. If any singles should choose to become couples, they must get engaged before ever seeing each other face to face. After they put a ring on it, they are thrown into a trial run of life together to work out any differences before their big day, which is just mere weeks later. In that phase, they decide to say \u201cI do\u201d or break it off completely.<\/p>\n<p>Much like previous seasons, this third season yielded much drama but none like the debate between Nancy Rodriguez, a 32-year-old landlord and speech-language pathologist, and her fianc\u00e9 Bartise Bowden, a 27-year-old accountant with a passion for fitness.<\/p>\n<p>Shortly after the couple became engaged and moved in with each other, Nancy expressed worry that the longer she waits to have children, the higher risk those kids would be at for having birth defects.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat would you do if you did find out that your child had a birth defect and you could abort the pregnancy? Do you want to keep the baby?\u201d Nancy asked.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cKeep the baby,\u201d Bartise responded confidently. \u201cWhat the f-ck. I could not. F-ck no. They could be boy, girl. They could be transgender. They could do whatever. I just want to love that kid no matter what. Three legs, whatever it comes out is like going to be my \u2014 our \u2014 kid.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Nancy, a speech-language pathologist, tried to justify her belief in selective breeding, which is effectively outlawed under Texas\u2019s six-week abortion ban, by claiming \u201cI\u2019ve seen so much in my field.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt was so emotionally draining and so sad that I would cry almost every day. A lot of times even just with Down syndrome, there are so many complications, medical and also learning complications,\u201d she said. \u201cI see the amount of trauma that it does to, like, the family. For me, if I knew that I could try again and hope that the second time it\u2019s better, then I would go that route.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI would never, I could never do that,\u201d Bartise responded. \u201cEspecially knowing that we were trying to have a kid, just abort mission because they\u2019re gonna have some challenges and we\u2019re gonna have some challenges. I am mentally tough enough to handle whatever challenge that may present. And I just couldn\u2019t ever pull the plug like that. Yeah, that\u2019s f-cking rough. I could not do that. I\u2019m sorry.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>For the crime of not wanting to abort a child that doesn\u2019t come out looking or acting<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Down syndrome and other conditions are life-altering, but they should never constitute a death sentence for an unborn child.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":490,"featured_media":1720776,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/cndimages.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_2758-scaled-1.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[546],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1720773","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-the-federalist"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/cndimages.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_2758-scaled-1.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1720773","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/490"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1720773"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1720773\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1720776"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1720773"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1720773"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1720773"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
