"People use the same arguments for abortion."

Well, I'm not. The topic involves severely-handicapped children who need lifelong care just to eat, or are on life-support. They've already been born, so your attempt at using another hot-topic (abortion) fails. Hell, there are many 'conservatives' who get abortions over the sex of the child! Abortion is not the topic here.


"some people are able to pull it off, because they think (correctly) that life is worth more than any amount of money."


Some people != All of the people. What are the ones who can't "pull it off" supposed to do, besides live off the gov't? If you don't have an answer to that, then you support increasing the Nanny State and its influence and thus, aren't much of a conservative. We're supposed to be about "less gov't", not more. Or have you forgotten Ronald Reagan?

It's not about "forgetting Reagan," who actually, didn't do quite a good job at rolling back government, other than lowering taxes. It's about valuing life at all its stages.

Geez, that statement just DRIPS with irony... in more than one way.

Do you even see it?

Basically, you're saying that if a person is handicapped and can't care for themself, they should have been killed at or after birth.

Have you ever heard of "families"? Or non-profit organizations who help those who need help? Are you so hard hearted that you think those who can't earn their keep should be killed?

Ah yes, the 'killing cures societal ills and relieves responsibility' approach. I too am finding your assertive remarks interesting, though somewhat disgusting. You do represent a significant segment of this nation's citizens.
