Abortion is wrong 100% of the time, in 100% of cases. Anything short of complete abolition of the practice is simply begging for God’s wrath.

What is incredibly tragic - fully-socialized medical systems regularly encourage abortion (including very late term) to prevent birth of Down syndrome babies and others. It’s all because it is considered a “burden” to their wicked system.

What about rape? So - the death penalty for the unborn child who had no part in the crime is the answer? No.

Incest? Same thing...
Young? Again - that is the fault of the unborn? Where are the legal charges against whoever raped that child?

“Spiritual shockwaves...”

Yep. I’ve shared the story in detail here already, but my college girlfriend of three years (40 years ago) was ‘late’. I had been vocally pro-abortion, and had even debated with this position in school. When she told me, and advised that I needn’t worry because she’d “Just get an abortion”, that shockwave ran through me like 100 amps, head to toe, and I yelled a very deep “NO!” It came from nowhere, seemingly, but it had come from God, and that moment changed my life. I’ll never forget it.

In this article, reference to God’s Punishment is made. I don’t think God works like that. I think we punish ourselves when we act contrary to his will; it’s not personal, like he makes the effort to make sure we, as an individual, suffer. He warns us in advance of what will very naturally happen if we sin, and implores us not to go there. If we do, we find out why, and his heart breaks. (My girlfriend was not pregnant, but I could not from that day forward feel any love or attraction for her whatsoever — and she was a stunner. We broke up a couple of weeks later.)

What unbearable grief that father must have brought upon himself. I cannot help but think suicide crossed his mind. Just terrible.

What about ectopic pregnancy?

The article never mentions whether the child in fact had the disorder he was killed for.

Maybe I’m the only one who remembers thalidomide? That one example created really weird pregnancies. There has to be a way to handle severe cases. And what do you call the mis-carriages and still births that result from the clotshots. The end result would seem to be the same as an abortion?

Decades ago we used to give blood tests to make sure a couple was compatible to minimize birth defects. We don’t seem to do that anymore? Maybe that’s one reason birth defects are up?

I’ve visited institutions where severely disabled babies are kept alive, mostly for study. To me it seems one should be careful trying to make absolutes——because stuff happens.

Unequivocal diagnosis of Downs in the preborn child seems likely never to be attempted or determined.

Two priorities are served, first, extermination of preborns with Downs (Iceland for example is said proudly to have zero Downs), and second, promotion of abortion generally.

I had my first birth child at 45. They did a blood test to check for whatever and told me the baby had a 70% chance that he would be born with Down syndrome. I had him anyway and he was perfectly normal and is now 31 years old and my most wonderful blessing.

Not viable, and hence, not an abortion.

Too many times, they find out the doctor was wrong the whole time.

Because we kill all the babies with it.

GOD forbid!

Exactly.

180° out-of-phase “pride” is what passes as normal these days.

Same for his wife, leaving the decision up to him…weak. They allowed the doctor make the call for them instead of taking responsibility themselves about the decision. The article doesn’t say anything about the wife later, but it looks like he has made his own Hell. Could have put the baby up for adoption. Instead, they decided to kill the baby and no one forced them to do that.

This is why I despise the Medical industry in its current form.

Prisons are filled with people who have made one major mistake in life. I am sure he’ll is much the same.
