terrible thinking? the bill no where says disabled children are not officially
recorded and are non-existent. Our fight should be that disabled children for
part of the 2 children policy.

I was also thinking the same while reading this draft.
If a child borns with disability, he or she will not exist officially.
With this section, it will not possible to make this bill effective as much
as it should be.

NPRD’s Reaction to the Draft Uttar Pradesh (UP) Population Control,
Stabilisation and Welfare Bill, 2021
Sec. 15 of the Bill includes a terribly pejorative almost eugenic rationale
where the Bill says that if couples have one or two children who “suffer” (term
used in the Bill) from disability, they can have more children and will not be
seen to contravene the two-child norm.
Notwithstanding, the other regressive and contentious provisions in the
Bill, this Section seeks to invoke an ableist mindset and tends to view the
disabled as non-existent and equivalent to being dead. This is atrocious and
unacceptable. Disability is a condition and one does not “suffer” from a
disability but rather suffers because of it.
The Rights of Persons with Disabilities Act, 2016, which the Bill invokes
has equality and non-discrimination as its guiding principles. This provision
in the Bill is a blatant violation of these principles and reinforces the
concept of viewing children with disabilities as a burden, unwanted by families
and society.
