A vigorous ethical debate is underway about disability rights and selective abortion. One prodisability group criticizes the ableism of abortion based on prenatal screening. Another group supports legalized abortion but harbors serious concerns about disability bias. This essay moves the debate forward by reflecting on the ethics of selective abortion from a particular theological perspective: eschatology. I critically examine the claim that selective abortion contradicts the principle of Samaritan hospitality and the claim that envisioning disabled people in heaven means that selective abortion is an illegitimate use of women’s moral agency. This essay proposes a view of the resurrection using what philosopher call emergence theory, which I argue is prodisability because it conceptualizes how the bodies of beings affected with a disability who die in utero might attain heaven. I also present a view of divine providence that is supportive of women’s self-determination and self-trust in reproductive issues, including selective abortion.

地上和天上的残疾人

一场关于残疾人权利和选择性堕胎的激烈伦理辩论正在进行中。一个prodisability团体批评基于产前筛查的堕胎能力论。另一个团体支持合法堕胎，但对残疾偏见深表担忧。本文通过从特定的神学角度（末世论）反思选择性堕胎的伦理，推动辩论向前发展。我批判性地审查了选择性堕胎与撒玛利亚人热情好客原则相矛盾的说法，以及设想在天堂里设想残疾人意味着选择性堕胎是对妇女道德行为的非法利用。这篇文章使用哲学家所说的涌现理论提出了一种复活的观点，在子宫内可能会到达天堂。我还提出了一种支持妇女在生殖问题（包括选择性堕胎）上的自决和自信心的天意观。
