"Her disability was not a dealbreaker — we didn’t even talk about it for the first couple of dates. We really connected. And of course, I thought she was very beautiful."

Said husband Rudy Izzie, quoted in "Defying odds, quadriplegic woman in Virginia has twins/Since Dani Izzie got pregnant, she’s had to deal with strangers saying she’s selfish and she can’t possibly take care of her babies" (WaPo).

From Dani Izzie: "I had some insecurity and doubt, wondering, ‘How am I going to take care of a baby if I can barely take care of myself?’... Everyday life was already challenging.... People rarely see disabled people represented in caregiving roles. I want them to see me and realize that disability is just a normal part of life.... Everybody has their challenges, whether they have a disability or not."

Reminds me of the post about Bethany Mandel and all the Karens remarking about her large number of kids. Guessing they also wear masks. Outdoors. And yell at people who are maskless.

If she can do this, then Fetterman can be a Senator, right NY Times?

If she can have children in her condition, Fetterman can be a Senator. That's what I'm getting from this.

Good for her. Her disability shouldn’t prevent her creating new life and legacy that lives beyond her.

And why could they not be that fast in charging antifa protesters lighting cities on fire?

Mom, dad, and "our Posterity". Equal and complementary.

Informed consent, safe sanctuary, and shared responsibility follow with their first choice. Good for mom, good for dad, good for "our Posterity".

Men and fatherhood. You're not alone ladies. Expect more of yourself and your better half.

Maybe she doesn't nag all the time. It could work.

Why does this shellfish woman want to bring kids with quadraplegia into the world just so she can tell her friends she is a mother? There was a reason back in the good old days to sterilize people like this.

Crucify her! Oh, Howard beat me to it.

Fuck you, Howard, you soulless shell of a human. I'm coming up on the first anniversary of my disabled brother's death. His will to live and what he contributed and endured are immeasurable.

I can measure you.

Howard is a small, ugly man-on the inside-where it counts.

Howard is a troll. And you people! treat him like he's not.
