Linky?

It has a very annoying posting style, because it does not seem to understand the quote button. Here are two consecutive posts:

In theory, yes. But in practice, it’s a different issue. A study conducted in France years ago, consisting of sending to potential employers identical resumes with slightly different personal informations showed that disabled people were by far the least likely to be offered an interview. I don’t remember the real figures, but to give a very rough idea of the range, women would get slightly less interviews (say, 10% less), people with an arabic name even less (say, 20% less), and disabled people masively less (say, 50% or 60% less)

Of course it was a disability that shouldn’t normally be impairing for the work they were aplying for.

c #24

OK
Let’s accept that as a premise.
Should a woman pregnant with a person likely to be subject to such discrimination then and therefore terminate that pregnancy? Try again, for offspring without severe handicap?

See the “c #24” thing? That is short for “clairobscur, post #24”

Then there is the bit starting from here, where it prates on pedantically about word origins, to no end but to cruft up the thread.
