I agree. As a conservative and a parent I had a lot of genuine fear about things like severe autism, chromosomal abnormalities, and birth defects. You roll the dice each time you have a kid, and if it’s possible to fix those dice and prevent the worst outcomes…well, parents are a very motivated audience.
This is compounded by the fact that conservatives are more likely to be pro-life. This doesn’t matter for autism, since there’s no way to detect it in utero, but if a pro-lifer finds out he’s having a Down Syndrome kid he knows that is going to change the rest of his life. There’s no “abort” option.

the man seems really cranky and confrontational lately.
No, he's like this all the time in the comments. The posts he writes are often quite good and reasonable, but when the man is replying and commenting he is always cranked up to 11. He's been like this for years.
It’s demons man. They’re laughing all the way to the bank. “I got him to kill six kids and then off himself! Top that!”
