State should not interfere in the sex and reproduction

In 1972, women’s liberation groups insisted three points, namely, (a) the state should not interfere in the sex and reproduction of individual women, (b) abortion is a right of women, and (c) we have to create a society where women want to give birth based on their own intentions (2). However, the members of Blue Grass Group had a serious doubt about the idea that women have a right to abortion, because such a right logically includes the right to selective abortion, which would suppress and disempower disabled people. They concluded that if “the right to abortion” includes “the right to selective abortion,” it must not be accepted. They accused women’s liberation groups of having the “egoism of people with normal bodies” that belittles and denies the existence of disabled people.
