Canada Ping
Diversity if fine as long as it’s the kind the liberals approve of.
Bravo Dr. Groulx! My first pregnancy tested positive for Downs. My son is healthy and beautiful - I would have taken him any way he came out because that was how he was intended.
Hitler did pretty much the same thing in Germany in the 1930s when he had Down Syndrome men, women and children, among other “undesirables,” euthanized by gassing (they were taken to a building and were locked in and the building sealed, and then auto exhaust was piped in). Their only crime was that they did not meet the “standards” of what a German was expected to be. Looks like Canada has a similar mindset about dealing with those who don’t fit what Canadians are expected to be.
God has welcomed those innocents into His loving arms, and is showing them the love and happiness they were denied on earth. I wonder how He will receive the eager practitioners of this abomination.
Margaret Sanger would have been SO proud of Canadian socialism.
If only the parents of special children could have a window into the future to see the joy and meaning their child will bring to them and everyone who meets their child, they would always choose LIFE.
Two of my three children were/are special needs. I didn’t know it when he was born, when she was adopted. And the third is a professional banjo player. LOL But I believe that I hit the lottery. I have learned so much, grown so much.
What will George Will say about this?
I am often asked to describe the experience of raising a child with a disability - to try to help people who have not shared that unique experience to understand it, to imagine how it would feel. It’s like this...
When you’re going to have a baby, it’s like planning a fabulous vacation trip - to Italy. You buy a bunch of guide books and make your wonderful plans. The coliseum. The Michelangelo David. The gondolas in Venice. You may learn some handy phrases in Italian. It’s all very exciting.
After months of eager anticipation, the day finally arrives. You pack your bags and off you go. Several hours later, the plane lands. The stewardess comes in and says, “Welcome To Holland”.
“Holland?!?” you say, “What do you mean “Holland”??? I signed up for Italy! I’m supposed to be in Italy. All my life I’ve dreamed of going to Italy”
But there’s been a change in the flight plan. They’ve landed in Holland and there you must stay.
The important thing is that they haven’t taken you to a horrible, disgusting, filthy place, full of pestilence, famine and disease. It’s just a different place.
So you must go and buy new guide books. And you must learn a whole new language. And you will meet a whole new group of people you would never have met.
It’s just a different place. It’s slower-paced than Italy, less flashy than Italy. But after you’ve been there for a while and you catch your breath, you look around and you begin to notice that Holland has windmills...Holland has tulips. Holland even has Rembrandts.
But everyone you know is busy coming and going from Italy...and they’re all bragging about what a wonderful time they had there. And for the rest of your life, you will say “Yes that’s where I was supposed to go. That’s what I had planned”.
And the pain of that will never, ever, ever, ever go away...because the loss of that dream is a very significant loss.
But...if you spend your life mourning the fact that you didn’t get to Italy, you may never be free to enjoy the very special, the very lovely things...about Holland.
