Ah.... I see...
All those things would have been affected by a life of caring for a Down’s child.”
And a "normal" child wouldn't affect your jobs?? ROFLMBO
Justifying their sin with an excuse of selfishness.
They could ‘control’ this situation. WHat is going to happen to them when something happens they can’t control??
God forbid they are taken from the rhythm of their wonderful lives.
I truly hope they burn in Hell for all eternity.

I truly hope they ask for forgiveness and follow the creator. It ain’t easy being people. Screw ups are everywhere including you.
They don’t deserve children. Period.
In all fairness, Down Syndrome should not be thought of in blanket terms, because there are so many variables, not just to the individual, but to their family.
1) There is a spectrum in Down Syndrome. Not just of the condition itself, which can be mild to severe, but to the associated common conditions, which can have just as much effect on the child’s life, but cannot often be determined before birth, or for long after.

2) If a family has other children, healthy or with other conditions, even if the parents are willing and can afford the extra care for the Down Syndrome child or children; it *will* diminish the care, upbringing and quality of life of the other children. So it is not just the parent’s sacrifice. Not just money, but time, and opportunities for personal enrichment.
3) Institutionalism of a severely handicapped child rarely has positive outcomes. Their quality of life is limited to survival, often with never ending pain and little or no chance for growth. Just slow decline until they die.
4) At the same time, those children with very high functionality Down’s Syndrome may lead near normal and enjoyable lives, with lots of love and care and the attention that children deserve. But this cannot be determined prior to birth.
Shallow people do deadly things.
Explain it to St. Peter when he shuts the pearly gates in your face.
With the child they aborted standing right next to St Peter.
Amen.
Headline is wrong. This person is not a father. He is a murderer
Exactly right.
He’s both. He’s a father who murdered his child.
Not some petrified with fear Teenager making this decision, but two Educated Mature Adults who were able to weigh both sides of the issue and decide that Murder solved their problem.
I hope they wince every time they run across a person with Downs, like the guy that serves you Food at the local Carl’s Jr. I visit now and then.
He is always the happiest person working there. Heck, is happier than every Customer eating there too.
These two disgusting creatures should be horse-whipped and sterilized...
Your reflection of this event is far more powerful than you know. Thank you for posting.
It is a different life with a few more burdens yet so very rewarding. These are the type of people who have children, spend 15-20 minutes a day with them while the kids somehow manage to grow up on their own.
I say they have a choice...They can experience Hell for the rest of their lives and live with the regret and repent, or experience Hell for eternity.
And how do you determine these variables on the womb??? Evidently you have some far superior knowledge than the rest of us.
And DO NOT start your sentence “By all fairness” when your complete tone is leveling acceptance of killing an INNOCENT human being.
I hope these people do not have ANY children, as their careers and own satisfaction will always take precedence over the needs of any offspring unfortunate enough to be born to them.
