Disabled people do have sex, and many are physically able to have children.
After I'd been married for two years, I told my gynecologist that I was ready to get pregnant, and wanted to stop taking the Pill. We don't know what's paralyzed down there. It was like a slap in the face. I'm not paralyzed, and I couldn't believe that my doctor, whom I'd been seeing for eight years, didn't understand the specifics of my disability. His ignorance stunned me.
