Wow. That is a powerful story. Thank you for sharing it with us all here.
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.
The article never mentions whether the child in fact had the disorder he was killed for.
I was there for all 3 of my girl’s births.
This is pretty horrific.
I didnt finish.
It’s all about you Kevin. It’s all about you.
Prisons are filled with people who have made one major mistake in life. I am sure he’ll is much the same.
I have known several families very well who had Downs Syndrome members. I have never met one family that regretted their child, or would give him/her up for anything in the world. I have known them as wonderful, caring, loving people, who bring joy to those around them.
I also spent time when I worked in psychiatric wards with two women who were suffering, one two years after and the other twelve years after having an abortion. They were not like clinically depressed people, or like most mentally ill people; they had a profound sense of remorse and regret, and had to live with the knowledge of what they had done, and received no genuine support from anyone in the mental health field. They were told not to feel the way they did. One of the things that made me leave the field.
