"Soon it will be a sin for parents to have a child that carries the heavy burden of genetic disease. We are entering a world where we have to consider the quality of our children."

I recently encountered this 'mentality' while collecting donations for a baby born with a genetic disorder that required immediate surgery. The office was comprised totally of democratic constituents. They gave not one dime. Meanwhile, the adjacent office, comprised of republicans, not only contributed to the child's surgery but also adopted her family and provided them with everything on their Christmas wish list.

I've known several people with Down's; they have more than a normal amount of emotional problems, but these are easily treated with counseling and medication. Generally they are very kind and loving people -- it is sickening that people would want to murder them.

A guy I work with came to me upset. He and his wife were expecting their 4 child. The Doctor told them the child had Down's Syndrome. They were thinking about an abortion.

He asked my opinion and I told him that I thought he should choose life. He and his wife talked to a few other people and agreed, that no matter what they were going to have the child.

The little girl was born and did not have Down's Syndrome.

Now they are expecting their 5th child. Caught up to me.

I am not surprised. The hypocritical libs pretend they're the party of tolerance and yet, to them someone with Down's syndrome is not worthy of life.

God forgive me for this but I hate them. I hate all of them. I have a precious niece with Down's syndrom. I defy any of those that feel they're so superior to show up at our family reunions and suggest our precious Elaine is not worthy of life. Our Elaine is more worthy of life than those who want us to believe she is not.
