I don’t have a problem with his response.

"Killing a disabled infant ...[up to the age of 12 months or more]... is not morally equivalent to killing a person. Very often it is not wrong at all."
--Peter Singer

"I think that a chimpanzee certainly has a greater self-awareness than a newborn baby...There are certain circumstances, for example, where the newborn baby is severely disabled and where parents think that it's better that that child should not live, when killing the newborn baby is not at all wrong...not like killing the chimpanzee would be. Maybe it's not wrong at all."
--Peter Singer

And?

I will say I am aware of the pain and anguish a Rh negative child created. The female was not expected to live beyond puberty but did live until about 21. A two year old that could only scream and not talk. A life that should not have been. A mongoloid that should not have happened.

If I were the parent, I might have destroyed this thing rather than live with it. People have no idea...

All the praying and congregating does not help. Death is the cure.
