Judy,
Where has Singer said that?
re: Choice you should read some work done in Canada. Peters, Y. (1995).
NRT's …The contradictions of choice: The common ground between disability
rights and feminist analyses. Conference summary report. Vancouver, BC:
DAWN-Canada.
and article by Abby Lipman in GeneWatch.
In Canada we always held the notion that choice was up to women, but we also
ask how can one make choice in a society that is indirectly advocating
biases? such as ableism. If I recall correctly, J. Morris said the same?
