If everyone jumped off a cliff...
I mean really? That's your defense? That's it?
I think that is possibly the most hypocritical thing I have ever read on the internet... and it's the freaking internet... and I've been using it for a while.
I have to pick this apart piece by piece because you have managed to fit so much utter crap into such a short post.

...which is the worst justification for bigotry I've ever heard. I mean, I would have accepted "a deformed person killed my mother" over that load of crap.
Yes, mostly everyone at some point holds some bigoted views. Once these views are shown for what they are, it's the responsibility of an intelligent person to make an effort to change their illogically prejudice view.

So it's okay if it's only a little bit, right? I think that's just a way to make yourself feel better. I think you like to think that your completely illogical prejudice against the physically deformed is somehow more justifiable than, say, a racists feeling for someone of another race. Unfortunately, there is almost no difference between the two.
But you're right. I mean some people are more bigoted than others. Some people say, "I don't care what they do, just keep them away from me." Some people say, "They can do what I say, but they'd better not do anything that bothers me, and they'd better steer clear of me." And then there are those people who say, "Those creatures should never have been allowed to have been born." I guess about the only thing worse than the last one would be the people who want to round up all the ones ALREADY born and end their life.
I want to say something here. Had you not called her a creature I would trust that you simply thought she would have a hard life and you really didn't think it was right to give birth to a child that would have a hard life. To me though, the minute you dehumanized her, a red flag went up. That suggests to me that you care more about your own disgust with her appearance than you do about the difficulty she will have in life.
