Why should she be anyone’s burden? Would you have the same beliefs if a child was born blind? It’s a disability, but one that can be changed if she is properly educated. You are thinking of your pocketbook—but the money my niece will pay in taxes over a productive lifetime will make up the expense she goes through now.

As a fellow Christian, I ask you to think of the words of Isaiah 58.

...You are thinking of your pocketbook

I am so glad you figured that out. It seems from your post, that you are also thinking of MY pocketbook.

I can quote Scripture all day. The Bible never says "come unto gum't, all ye that travail. You are confusing Christian charity as opposed to reliance on gum't confiscation. In your post, you presume she will earn enough to compensate for her disability. Maybe, but maybe not. She may remain dependent.

Yes, it is MY pocketbook! I am often willing to share it, but charity comes from the heart, not the IRS!
