I’ve had a hard time focusing today. I just can’t quite put down that despicable post from the man that aborted his daughter because her test results indicated she likely had Down Syndrome.
As the father of a daughter with DS, I know the statistics (I also know how the conversation goes with the Geneticist…), but to see someone publicly announce the murder of their child, and with such egocentric disdain, just has me very upset today.
Lord, have mercy
Christ, have mercy
Lord, have mercy
God in heaven, thank you for the gift of my Ellie.
Threats of violence in the responses?
Please. The post was violent.
A life was snuffed out because it didn’t mean their standards of what they wanted out of their product/child.
The fact that you consider it normative to destroy a human and posted it shortly after their post celebrating the fact that they poured money into their dog and saved it is simply a sign of how diseased the American mind has become.
Our religion is sex, and we will sacrifice as many humans as we can to our god.
The various posters are right today. Raising children with Down syndrome *is* hard. It gets harder as they get older and I get older.
What the posters don’t understand is that we ought not snuff out people who are burdens to us. That’s the hard truth of being human I guess.
