Poor babies. Dieing because they aren’t smart enough or because the have palate problems that can be fixed.

"After that point a “severe handicap” such as Down’s syndrome or a cleft palate is necessary."

This is insanity, they have that vaunted "Universal Health care" so a cleft palate repair would be free to the mother. What excuse could they have for aborting a child over something repairable like a cleft palate? And Down Syndrome? There are many many people with down syndrome that lead fulfilling productive lives, and they are probably the sweetest and friendliest people you will ever meet. In one breath society says there is nothing wrong with people who are handicapped, yet they also insist you abort the child over the slightest imperfection. It is horrifying the level of inhumanity we see in our culture.

There was another article I saw where they included a “hare-lip” as being a reason for abortion in the UK.

SO barbaric. They should make the moms hold those babies while they die. Our friends lost their baby about that age; they were devastated. This is so barbaric.

>> The UK’s Evening Standard reports on a new study of hospitals in the West Midlands region of England that has found that one in 30 babies aborted for medical reasons is born alive and lived for an average of 80 minutes.

The pro-death except for capital punishment folks profess to be scandalized by a 34-minute execution (but not by Terri Schiavo's 13-day execution). So why is it acceptable to kill innocents in an average of 80 minutes?

I think we have a role reversal here. Innocent children are being treated like murderous criminals, and murderous criminals like innocent children. Therefore, we propose:

1) All children born alive should be presumed to be children and should have full rights to appeal their death sentence.

2) All criminals convicted of capital crimes should be presumed to be late-term abortions and made to die of neglect to protect their mother's health. Progressive thinking holds that every form of execution is unacceptable. Therefore, we must switch to the Terri Schiavo solution -- withdraw their food and hydration. That's not "killing" them at all according to progressive thinking. It's an "end of life decision" that "terminates" a "fetus" that is "not viable" by removing "extraordinary means" of "life support." Furthermore, it's a euphoric experience for them.

Voila! Two huge social problems solved.

My wife just gave birth to our third child yesterday. Genevieve was born at 9 lbs. 7 oz. Two other baby girls in the nursery were born at 31 and 32 weeks. Both lay helpless in incubation/ventilation units, and both cried and had the same needs as our own, full term baby. These "special needs" babies, though not DS, had names and the same human need for love and cuddles that we all share.

It is shocking that the precious value of these children incl. our own is held by some to be purely subjective. How could anyone hold and cuddle a tiny sleeping infant, look into her sleeping face - the epitome of innocence, peace, and utter dependence - and maintain the disposability of such a precious gift? Has anyone else ever noticed the subtle discomfort in a pro-choicer's face as he or she is offered the chance to hold a newborn?

This makes me sick to my soul.
