However, you’d be wrong. Because, while I do love my son, and am fiercely protective of him, I know our lives would have been happier and far less complicated if he had never been born. I do wish I’d had an abortion. I wish it every day.

What a selfish bitch.

She seems to think life would have been perfect without her son. But that’s surely not only not true but simply unrealistic.

On the other hand — prayers for these women to hang in there. They did the right thing and need not regret it.

But they do need to learn how to Ask, Seek and Knock.

What a selfish person to choose her convenience over the life of her child.

To have thoughts like that from time to time is human. Certainly ugly but human. To vocalize them makes one a monster. Some tempting thought should never be said because of the harm done to others.

What if this woman’s mother said, “if I known my selfish bitch of a daughter was going to say that when she was an adult, I would have aborted her”?

The world is full of selfish people. This article is about a selfish person. It is not about Down Syndrome and it is not about abortion. This is “dog bites man” — hey everybody! I found a selfish woman!!

On the plus side, this woman has something most parents don’t. She know which of her children she likes the best.

They always say those with Downs don’t live very long, now we find out they just don’t want them to

What kind of world do we have when people actually say this openly and proudly?

I remember it well. 1979.

“If only women were in charge, there’d be less war. Life would be more fair. Government would be more human; more considerate. It would be less corrupt.”

49,000,000 dead children and climbing. The Feminist Movement has passed Stalin on the list of pogrom heroes. They only have to murder another 20 million or so to catch Pol Pot.

What if she had a “normal” baby who was hit by a car at age 7 and was gravely and permamently disabled? I suppose you could extend abortion up to the 35th trimester or so? Nothing that a jolly good OD of liquid morphine wouldn’t cure, eh?

walk in her shoes....she's being honest, something most people can not do....

just walk in her shoes, and do it every day for 47 yrs...

people that have perfect children have no idea what it is like to have a disabled child, especially one that you know will never leave your house, and will be alone when you die.....

Oh no. Not at all. She simply tossed aside a principle that she found an inconvenience. That happens a lot.

Looking at the picture of them both, it’s difficult to tell which one has Downs Syndrome.

She seems to be incredibly selfish, and evil.

First of all, I wouldn’t be taking someone like that on a FLIGHT to Greece! Are they stupid? Do they not have a relative that can ‘babysit’ while they go on the trip? Sounds to me like the bitch makes bad decisions, and takes it out on her disabled son when things go bad. I’d bet the farm she abuses him in many ways. If she already wishes that she could have killed him, it isn’t a great leap to imagine her getting frustrated and hitting him upside the head.

“I do wish I’d had an abortion. I wish it every day.”

She gave herself away in the last phrase (as if we needed confirmation). Every day? Really? EVERY day? That sounds like an abortion activist employing hyperbole to make a rhetorical point, not a real person sharing something from the heart. That totalism is a hallmark of these extremists. “Often” wouldn’t have sounded like enough, but “all the time” would have been too flippant. She settled on “every day” for the script.
