To be fair, that is not at all what is implied by the article.
It was absolutely was. My wife is pregnant with our third child. She had "bad" blood work come back. The wonderful perinatologist was trying to use scare tactics on us because our child may have Downs or some other abnormality. They use the old "you really dont what it is like..." or "People say it doesn't matter but when the child comes..." BS arguments to try and get you to get an amnio or to abort. It is sickening.
Jesus may give us this cross and it will be ours to bear, if it indeed turns into a cross. But I just remember Matthew 25:31-46 and try and live it.
Values aren't values if you change them when the going gets tough.
