Same story for me. Was told my eldest daughter would most likely have cystic fibrosis. She is, by the grace of Christ, as healthy as a horse (but smaller).

Asked the genetic counselor what therapies there were. She said none, but that we could "explore our choices."

My wife and I told her we were Catholic, and that we did not see the point in a test that served no purpose other than to convince people to murder a child.

There is a special spot in hell for such people.

As opposed to sanctimonious Pharisees who think they're better than other sinners because their sins are easier to hide?

This article is a very stark reminder of how abortion is often a choice of despararation - and one all too easy to rationalize. I am aghast that no one on this board has any compassion whatsoever for the fact that this couple struggled with one of the hardest dilemmas they could have and took the immoral but easy way out.

Did they make the wrong choice? Sure. But, only by the grace of God go you or I.
