I know 3 women who were urged to abort their child.
All 3 refused. 2 of them are now Doctors.

Shows how good the advice was….

It just seems likely to me, but I was exaggerating a bit. Certainly, an abortionist or most anyone who enthusiastically promotes or takes part in this horrible termination must, almost necessarily embrace denial, ignorance, and emotional detachment. It’s my biggest sin to have been a party to it, and I’ll always be disgusted by my lack of maturity, denial, and cowardice in my 20s!

“Huuuuuuuuuuuuuge difference losing a limb than being born without arms.”

Certainly there is. A man who loses an arm knows what he lost and may never adapt to living without it, while a child born without them learns right from the start to live as he is.

“But I align myself with the ethics POV...”

Anyone who considers killing the child an option doesn’t know the meaning of the word “ethics”.

A couple posts above were giddy about an acquaintance joyfully beating with chopsticks with their feet in the cafeteria at their work place. Fine for an adult who has learned, not so fine for a child who isn't afforded specialized treatment and slight isolation. Would you want your kid being that spotlighted in a child peer environment??

And don't put words in my mouth. Never did I say “kill the child”. But a 60 to 90 day fetus is the time to decide.

When the doctor called the 2 selfish, this is what he meant. YOUR feelings on the matter have NOTHING to do with what that kid would go thru if he didn't have a rich mommy and daddy. And I say rich because of the privatization that could be afforded. Putting this kid, who has to eat with his feet in the general pool of society is EVIL!!!!

“Would you want your kid being that spotlighted in a child peer environment??”

No, this is a dishonest formulation of the question, because you are leaving out the implicit alternative that you are advocating for. So say it correctly:

“Would you want your kid being that spotlighted in a child peer environment, or would you rather your child be dead??”

Phrase it that way and the answer is obvious.

“And don’t put words in my mouth. Never did I say “kill the child”.”

You don’t have to say it. It’s obvious what you are trying to advocate for. You can’t be advocating that we grow their arms back or give them magic robot arms. Killing the child is the only possible thing you could be trying to advocate for, even if you don’t want to come out and say it.

“YOUR feelings on the matter have NOTHING to do with what that kid would go thru if he didn’t have a rich mommy and daddy.”

I’m sorry, but someone who is advocating to kill the child cannot lecture anyone else about that child’s potential feelings. No sir, that’s not going to happen.

Never addressed anything I said. just tried to deflect them.

Keep up the virtue signaling!! Unless you're directly involved, sitting in the bleachers waving the Holier than thou flag doesnt cut it...
