No offence to your dad, but who is
he to determine who’s going to suffer, who’s perfect?
I know where he’s coming from as a “devil’s advocate” kind of way, but seriously, if there’s any “excuse” for abortion that just right royally ticks me off, its this one. Its so morally repugnant. As others have mentioned, it reaks of nazism!
Here’s a story - its true and was written by a OB/GYN, but i’vce shortened it.
Two babies were born one night. ONe was a healthy baby boy who’s parents were over joyed and celebrated! They thanked me and took their son home to be loved and cherished.
The othe baby was a girl with Downs Syndrome. The family was very said and mourned for teh perfect child they wouldn’t have. They took their baby home but with sorrow shame and sadness.
When the girl grew up, she cared for her dying mother, worked hard and bought joy into the lives of everyone around her.
WHen the boy grew up, he was responsibile for the genocide of over six million people - his name was Hitler.
As it is, if your father, or anyone, is going to say that its in the baby’s best interest to be aborted then to be born, well, we better show mercy to those babies who slipped through the gap of ultrasound and “abort” them while they’re outside the wound.
What next? Should we start sterilising “human weeds” as Margaret Sanger said of the mentally retarded, blacks and poor? Sanger being the founder of Unplanned Parenthood, a woman who sympathisesd with the Nazis and who thougth Hitler had the right idea?
Aborting for reasons of “defect” is absolutely disgusting. Who the hell is anyone of us to decide who’s not perfect? Will insurance companies then step in? Forcing abortions on women who’s children are found to be “defective”? Already abortionists are using “cleft palate” as a “defect” to be given Partial Birth Abortion… cleft palate can be solved with a surgery or two.
There can’t be any grey areas, either we respect life at conception and don’t allow abortion for any reason, or we let little “exceptions” niggle their way in. If we use a cirucmstance like rape, or an event like foetal defect to remove the humanity of the unborn, to give an excuse to kill them, then all cirumstances and excuses must be allowed. The unborn is either human and worthy of protection, or it isn’t.
Seriously, where will it end? What dispicable little “justification” will those pro-choice to kill unborn children come up with next?
Actually, we’re not too far away from that. Abortion on demand comes close…very close, and is responsible for killing ***“normal” ***babies.
). If we are to define life in any meaningful way as a species(regardless of religion) we cannot define it by the amount of suffering it endures. It’s a really, really hard decision.
