The priority in the Christian life is Love. “Love the Lord your God, and love your neighbor as yourself”. These are the two commandments Jesus gave us. Reprioritize your life so that you are loving everyone always, no matter what. No exceptions...everyone should be loved by you.

@AmendolaPrime @Emilyy20k Ok I’m with you. I think I’m focusing on the choice to be a parent. And my wording may have been weird as “being unselfish” obviously isn’t the only reason to be a parent, but being a parent requires a level of unselfishness that if you’re not prepared for, you shouldn’t conceive

@chinecherem_17 Something being difficult has nothing to do with a moral conversation

[Brett Westerfield @btwesterfield]

@AmendolaPrime @Emilyy20k Ok that makes sense, so clarify for me your claim or confusion with mine. Are you emphasizing the individuality of the parent and child? And specifically thinking of birthing children as separate from the decision to parent them?

[Brett Westerfield @btwesterfield]

@AmendolaPrime @Emilyy20k I don’t think you’re on the same page on this topic…the child isn’t suddenly unexpectedly dying. The parents in question here are choosing that

[Brett Westerfield @btwesterfield]

@WestsideLAGuy The choice is happening late. Would you hold that same view if they didn’t find out until he/she was born?

[Brett Westerfield @btwesterfield]

@Thiohna I think you might be the one who doesn’t quite understand how this all works 😂

[Brett Westerfield @btwesterfield]

@ZayynHassan All these “no” answers you’re making up are answered “yes” by Christians at a substantially higher rate than any other group

[Brett Westerfield @btwesterfield]

@AmendolaPrime @Emilyy20k To be a parent is to care for your children. They are priority over things that used to be priority. If your young child gets sick, you don’t get to choose whether or not to care for them. Even if career or aspirations get put to the side.

@Bodittle This makes me so angry. They’re not “losing” the baby.

[Brett Westerfield @btwesterfield]

@KantInEastt Ya don’t try and have kids if you can’t raise them. Not a hard convo

[Frank J. Fleming @IMAO_]

When we found out Win has Down syndrome, I remember about 5 seconds of panic because of how this might change our plans for the future and then I remembered I don’t have greater plans than to do right by my kids.

[Brett Westerfield @btwesterfield]

@Ilerioluwakiye_ You should have that convo before trying to have kids

[Brett Westerfield @btwesterfield]

@TheStaad This is so dumb 😂

To the woman praising God in the hospital room because she has a new child… ”that’s not worship. No priest. No Eucharist. No altar”

[Brett Westerfield @btwesterfield]

@McJuggerNuggets I think the amount of sharing you guys did actually made it become so much more real for everyone. Posting every ultrasound “our little nugget” talking about the baby in every video then mid way through the pregnancy deciding it may be too tough and ending that child’s life

[Brett Westerfield @btwesterfield]

@TemiXo_1 When did pro lifers claim that anti medicine was a part of the stance? Just against ending innocent human life

[Brett Westerfield @btwesterfield]

@martianwyrdlord “Birth defects” are not a blessing from God. The child is, regardless of birth defects.

[Brett Westerfield @btwesterfield]

@JadeK526 This is so dumb

[Brett Westerfield @btwesterfield]

@HansFiene What statistics are you speaking of in correlation to folks who find it repulsive?

[Brett Westerfield @btwesterfield]

@RichardHanania Culture is inherently self seeking while one of the main themes of Christianity is sacrifice of self for the sake of others. So that’s why it’s mostly “religious” people
