“...the kindest thing they could do for themselves.”
I concur. Abortion is purely selfish. The rest of this crap is just that.
A kid’s legs are paralyzed from birth (if the doctors’ notoriously often-wrong prognosis about the handicap is correct), so that automatically makes him a useless eater?
GRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!
Doesn’t this kid have a MIND too???? Not just a BODY????
She might have just killed off the next Beethoven, or the man who would have cured all cancer.
Just so incredibly upsetting! In a sense, her comments seem to contain regret and would seem to have the power to deter some women from abortion. One might almost think she regrets her decision, but then she declares her and her husband made the right decision so her son wouldn’t have to “suffer.” That’s nonsense. Every person alive suffers in life, even if the person has no disability. I got the feeling that it was her and her husband that didn’t want to suffer and sacrifice their quality of life and ideal life raising a son that was disabled.
My heart just breaks for that child. The people who were supposed to love him the most and protect him the most, his mother and father, had him killed. Doctors, doctors who should be saving life, not taking it, recommended and participated in his murder.
:sigh:
Why are people so eager to kill anyone who isn't "perfect"?
One of my former co-workers has spina bifida. She is in her late thirties and she has to wear braces but she walks. She and her husband adopted a little girl a couple of years ago. This world would be a sadder place without her in it.
I keep on thinking about the scene in "A Wrinkle in Time" where "IT" informs Meg that when someone has a cold they are killed because it was kinder then having them suffer through the sneezes and stuffy noses of a cold.
I wonder how far we are from that mindset.
