Woman: Aborting My Baby With Down Syndrome “Was the Kindest Thing I Could Do”

In 2012, Suzanne gave birth to her third child and expressed relief that her new son wasn’t a “poorly boy” like Oscar. She said, “When Wilbur was born on August 17, 2012, I scrutinized him for signs of Down’s that the scans might have missed. But gradually I allowed myself to fall in love with my gorgeous new son.”

In other words, it took Suzanne some time to fall in love with her new son because she wanted to be sure that he didn’t have Downs. This begs the question, would she have not loved her son if he did?

What a heartless woman.

She should’ve ‘offed’ herself so she couldn’t replicate any of her inferior genes.

Compels me to once again ask the question “People keep dumping on Sarah Palin WHY exactly?”

[Slyfox]

Kindest thing she could do? I don't think so.

Some of my most precious friends have Downs. A more loyal, loving friend cannot be found.

In my 20+ years working at a major hospital...one that had a contract with the state's psych hospital system to provide medical care...I came in contact with many,many Downs Syndrome patients,almost all of whom were feeling ill (to one degree or another) at the time.Despite all that they were,almost always,the sweetest,gentlest people you can imagine...child-like in almost every way.Yes,you felt sorry for them and caring for and guiding one 24/7 might be a challenge but...PLEASE! Kindest?

When Hitler wanted a Master Race, people saw that for the EVIL it was. Now, people like this baby-killing monster are the norm.

The Brit online news is full of similar stories of someone divulging a very private, very hurtful secret. My question is, unless you are writing and now publicizing a book or a filmed documentary about your experience, why bother telling us about it? I would guess there are many American news sites that have the same kinds of articles, and for the same reasons. Hopefully, that was a model using her photo and not the actual mother. Think of how the remaining siblings may feel after reading what your parents decided to do to one of your brothers, before they had even born.

Cold, calculating, mean, nasty.

i know people who’ve been told their child would have ds and the child was born perfectly fine.

When asked for a poll, 99% of those with Down Syndrome said they were happy with their lives.

[Politicalkiddo]

Yeah, I hear that the testing isn’t too accurate.

[Politicalkiddo]

Too bad she can still have children.

The sad thing is, some people can’t grasp the fact that a person with “different” capabilities, can actually lead a very fulfilled enjoyable life.

Not all people with Down Syndrome are living miserable lives. There are organizations out there that cater to their needs, providing work opportunities, living quarters, and social outlets. Many of these people take buses to and from work. There are outings that include others with the same type of condition.

These people can lead decent lives for many years.

Some of them are gifted with incredible brain function in certain areas. Some are map savants. Some are mathematics savants. There are others.

Before the computer age, if these people had been tapped as a resource, it’s entirely possible space exploration could have been achieved earlier.

We need to rethink how we see some people.

Isn’t it interesting that the Left that always casts itself as the defender of the defenseless, is the first group to in a sense support the extermination of these people.

This angers me intensely.
