As a conservative Christian, I would ask you why she should be the "people's" burden, rather than the family that brought her forth, AT ANY TIME OF HER LIFE?
Christian, huh? Well one day you’ll get the opportunity to ask Jesus that very thing. Ready for His answer?
What, no one paid taxes so you could go to school?
Why should she be anyone’s burden? Would you have the same beliefs if a child was born blind? It’s a disability, but one that can be changed if she is properly educated. You are thinking of your pocketbook—but the money my niece will pay in taxes over a productive lifetime will make up the expense she goes through now.
As a fellow Christian, I ask you to think of the words of Isaiah 58.
