This article will review reasons why it is argued that the law on abortion on the grounds of disability is discriminatory, as well as recent unsuccessful attempts to address this discrimination in the law. These attempts include ones which would have moderately restricted access to abortion in certain limited cases, and another that might have opened to door to a number of different possibilities, including both to options that could have restricted access to abortion, and to other options that might have increased access. Finally, this article will also examine reasons why some of the most important challenges surrounding disability equality cannot be sufficiently addressed through legal change alone. While there are strong reasons to support some form of change in the law, a more foundational change in values is necessary if we want to live in a more ethical society that is truly capable of welcoming disabled children.

本文将回顾为什么有人认为关于残疾堕胎的法律具有歧视性，以及最近在法律中解决这种歧视问题的不成功尝试。这些尝试包括在某些有限情况下适度限制堕胎的尝试，以及可能为许多不同可能性打开大门的另一种尝试，包括可能限制堕胎的选择，以及可能限制堕胎的其他选择。增加了访问权限。最后，本文还将探讨为何仅通过法律变革无法充分解决围绕残疾人平等的一些最重要挑战的原因。虽然有充分的理由支持对法律进行某种形式的改变，但如果我们想生活在一个真正有能力欢迎残疾儿童的更加道德的社会中，就必须在价值观上进行更根本性的改变。
