Just look who this compassionate Freeper argues to the death for politically on FR. Regularly. Mitt Romney.
All you need to know.
Fathers are powerless in the face of a mother's decision to abort or not to abort. Ultimately, the life or death of the child is in the mother's hands, legally and morally. Therefore, she bears the brunt of making ugly self-centered statements about wishing she'd aborted her child because she's the one who makes the decision. Not the father. Like it or not, that's the way it is.
I wish her mother had aborted her.
Why am I not surprised? They probably think Myth will have a better chance if he just announces that he's always been pro-abortion.

Well said.
Well many of them including the recently departed Hildy sure seems to have shared his love of it. I think it carries to a lot of them. Otherwise why do they keep fighting for Rs squishy on social issues?
It’s distressing to see someone writing something like this about her son, and why? To support abortion, imho. I could certainly understand her talking privately to her husband, priest, friend or relative when things seem overwhelming, but why do this publicly?
It’s wrong.
The “selfish bitch” has been caring for this 47-year-old child day after day, morning til night, f0r 47 years. He’s healthy, doesn’t look abused.
I don’t want to judge her.
Because ‘they’ are wrong. They bought the lies of the left and think they are supreme. All must make them happy.
they are an affront to the natural order. They want their participation trophy and it’s unfair that they are so burdened.
Plenty of battered women look fine and happy too.
My youth gave me a lot of experience with Downs kids, or TRs as I heard them called back then, and a perspective to appreciate some of her challenges, but I have no idea what sacrifices she and her family have made and how much love and stamina she has left.
I can appreciate her concerns for his care after her death and the helplessness she might feel with that challenge.
I imagine she faces quite a few similar level challenges on a routine basis. Those can take a toll on one's attitude and outlook as demonstrated by the sentiments she expresses.
I know it’s trite, but whenever I think I am overly burdened, I realize very quickly by just listening to other people that I am really very blessed.
This woman’s husband and two children are still living. She and her husband are in fairly good health. They are not poor. That is much to celebrate.
Of course it's about supporting abortion.
This woman wishes EVERY DAY that she had killed her son. It's not a passing thought that she sometimes feels in moments of extreme anger or frustration, it's what she has felt every day for 47 years.
My BFF walks in her shoes. Walks alone mind you because she’s a widow. Everything this couple talks about, I have seen first hand.
I would have more respect for this woman if she said “I wish I had given him up for adoption” or “I wish we had put him in an institution” or even today says “we can’t take it anymore” just out right puts him in a group home with other Trisomy 21 people. Anything but says “I wish I had aborted him” That so send the wrong message to women who are right now pregnant with a baby with Trisomy 21.
Yes. It could have been far worse for her. But like many she is too stupid to realize that.
I lost my wife at 29 to cancer and had to raise a daughter as a single parent. When I look at this idiot whineing about abortion and how she wishes her son were dead, and when I look at people on this thread excusing her comments, it really takes me back.
I’m very sorry, Norm.
You gotta deal with what you’re given. I did. Millions have. And damn few us ever sought death as the answer. The ones that dis are no better than she is.
Is anybody throwing stones at her offering to adopt her son after she dies? I don't see any volunteers stepping up to the plate here.
I refuse to cast stones at this woman. I'm only about 50 years old and I raised two healthy sons who are now out of the house and on their own, which allows my wife and I to pretty much do whatever we please. This woman is 70 years old and has probably not had a carefree day since I was a toddler myself. Hell, she couldn't even go on a vacation with her husband to Greece.
I'm not casting stones at her. She has my sympathy.
Uh...no. Not nearly as shocking as hearing you reiterate that you wish every day that he was dead.
