Government mandated abortions? *sigh*

[nmh]

This is so horrible!

People WILLINGLY take the low EVIL route. It's no wonder we have more EVIL people in power than good. Who they vote for reflects themselves.

The lie was "it's all about a woman's choice".

Now the mask is slipping off, and we'll be told that a woman has a duty to abort a handicapped child. (Notice the college student's remark ... "she had a choice, and she made the wrong one.")

And then the mask will be off completely, and it will be Big Brother deciding who is permitted to reproduce ... and who isn't.

"Conjoined twins" describes a huge spectrum, from easily correctable, to very low quality of life, to impossible to keep both alive, to impossible to keep either alive. A survey which lumps them all together is just meaningless garbage.

It's worth noting that the adult Iranian sisters who died a couple of years back after an attempt to separate them, had both determined that they'd rather take the substantial risk of dying from the surgery, than continue to live connected to each other at the head. Though from a medical standpoint, they were quite healthy while joined together, and had every reason to expect normal lifespans, they simply didn't want to live if they had to live that way.

However, it they were adults and it was a choice they both agreed upon about their own lives.

The gays claim they are born gay. Imagine the uproar if someone would promote aborting suspected "gay babies".

[ffusco]

who would?

[ffusco]

yeah, that's the same thing....

Spinal Bifida, Cerebal Palsey, whrong color eyes...doesn't matter. If the child is not 'somebody's' version of perfect, it can be killed.

Bunch of G__D___ ghouls.

Though from a medical standpoint, they were quite healthy while joined together, and had every reason to expect normal lifespans, they simply didn't want to live if they had to live that way.

Do you think they preferred to never have lived?

I think it's a stretch to go from "accepting the risks of surgery" to "rather not live at all if it's like this". The former is reasonable, the latter is suicidal.

when life has no meaning, these kind of decisions lose meaning as well. eventually, nothing has meaning and we are all cattle.

The lie was "it's all about a woman's choice".

If it's really all about a woman's choice, then they need to mind their own business and not criticize anyone for choosing the way they want after all, instead of the way someone else thinks they should.

...nothing has meaning and we are all cattle.

Cattle get more respect from liberals.

They're playing god again!

How disappointed God must be to see this.

Thanks to evilution, life has little value. We're told we're no better than animals. I suppose they want to implement the "survival of the fittest through eugenics ... Margaret Sanger and Hitler would be so proud of these people.
