(s)the government has a interest in protecting the "right to compassion" for fetuses to ensure they are born with no genetic defects. A law should be passed mandating gene tests and if defective mandatory abortion. Of course the women will recieve a tax credit. It is for the children. Society has a collective right to ensure unneeded costs of defective genes is not continued. Of course the program is optional for religious objections but those who object are ineligive to any public benefits, student loans, or any federal or state monies.(/s)

I almost pray, no I do pray that you are engaging in sarcasm. But I fear that you are not. Your suggestion is so repulsive it staggers the mind. There are worse defects than physical or mental disabilities and that is a defect of the heart. Our value as persons does not lie in having a pure and perfect genetic code. It lies in the great love God has for us. It lies in His incarnation and His resurrection. Both which affirmed the dignity of human life. Body, soul and mind. Perhaps you do not care for an argument centered on Christian teaching. Then think of some of the people that you would have tossed on the dung heap of history. Helen Keller, Alexendar Graham Bell, Beethoven, Stephen Hawkings, Ray Charles, and so many others who have contributed so much to this world.
I feel sorry for you, for if you are serious your heart is as disabled as any so called defective.
