My heart goes out to that little girl, living with disabilities cannot compare to the pain of having parents that wish she were dead, May God protect that little girl and may He deal with that judge and those parents.
It sure is. This is outrageous.
My daughter in law has a nephew who is almost two years old born with spina bifida. When they firts got the diagnosis, at birth, they were devastated. Now they are beaming parents of a beautiful smiling little boy. He has had some surgery and will probably have more, but if you would see the bright eyes and smile on this little boy you would just want to steal him and take him home with you. He cannot walk normally, but other than that, he is a normal child in every way. Ask them if they would have wanted to abort their baby because he has spina bifida, and I can guarantee their answer.
Something is rotten in the state of Belgium
Big government will decide what is right and what is wrong.
And why werent these people all struck by lightning? I mean c’mon ... a ittle help here G?
Before we work ourselves up into a lather here we might ask if we do know God’s will in cases like this.
For almost all of human history up to about 50-100 years ago the girl would have died shortly after birth with deformities that serious. Is that God’s will? Or is it that the child should be alive artificially after medical intervention?
Would the parents have gone on to have other children if this one did pass shortly after birth? What are those lives worth?
I suspect the real change due to this decision will be doctors abandoning obstetrics. I have an acquaintance whose husband did just that when similar decisions started being made in this country. She told me a lot of OB/GYNs became GYN only.
You’re failing to note that at least Belgium has a gestation limit to when abortions can be performed. We are one of the few countries that de facto (Doe vs. Bolton) has NO limit to when abortions can be performed.
And, indeed, as records and the odd criminal case has shown, unwanted babies have been simply left out to die in a closet.
Disgusting.
Here we go folks. Remember how the perverted bunch has said that being a queer/freak/pervert can be traced back to a specific genetic defect. Will the Euros mandate abortion because of this genetic defect?
More like “Gattaca.”
NO this is not brave new world just same old Nazi crap.
