AmericanThinker.com has a new article today titled
THE PRO-DEATH MOVEMENT

[SNIP] The acceptance by society of the killing of unborn babies has had a tremendous impact on the deterioration of our view of the sanctity of life, and this lack of respect for life has not been limited to the unborn. In 1982, a baby known only as "Baby Doe" was born with Down Syndrome in Bloomington, Indiana. In addition to Down Syndrome, Baby Doe was born with a connection between the esophagus and windpipe, which prevented food from reaching the stomach.

A routine operation could have corrected the problem involving the esophagus, but because the baby had Down Syndrome, the parents refused to allow the operation, choosing instead to starve the baby to death, which the Supreme Court of Indiana ruled they had a right to do. Many families offered to adopt the baby; however, the parents refused, and the child died seven days after birth. [END SNIP]

That just makes me sick.Do none of these people have a shred of decency. Do they not fear having to give an accounting of themselves someday?

I'm not perfect, no one is, but THAT will not be on my conscience.
