Definitely, the fact that our love for our child is put to test does not in any way mean that it is greater than the love a parent of a neurotypical child has. But there are differences, like many more sleepless nights, a sweeping change in social life, an increased anxiety for the future of the child when we will not be around and of course the discrimination part I mentioned in the end. As an example, families with a child on the spectrum have limited mobility, not just because of the associated difficulties, but also because a range of countries will just not accept them (e.g. Australia and Canada), or will do so with much more difficulty. Therefore, while I understand where you are coming from, there are practical, even ratified differences which make some potential life paths even harder or impossible. Furthermore, these difficulties are often supported by the same politics/politicians that claim to care about all lives. On my part, I share with you the all encompassing respect and appreciation of life, as I live a happy life next to a different child that constantly amazes me. I would be reluctant to attribute someone else's choice to their personal disrespect for life, as long as there is a societal discrimination that might affect such decisions.

Edit: I wish to be a little more explicit. The choice discussion is void in my eyes, since society has already made implicit choices around this subject which form significant input to the individual decision processes. By sending conflicting signals and putting forward choice on the one hand and respect for life on the other, we are just shaking off a collective responsibility and handing it over to an atomic existence that we already alienate in this manner. Let's fix the social norms and then we can discuss more meaningfully. If in the middle ages people with Down syndrome were properly integrated in the society, the current state of affairs is telling of the brutality and barbarism of our modern societies.
