In post #2, I'll like to the pictures.

I know that children with anencephaly don't look like a healthy baby would. I read a statistic that 95% are aborted. That statistic makes sense because 90% of Down Syndrome babies are aborted, and this is far more serious than Down Syndrome and is fatal. It's argued by the pro-abort crowd that the "humane" thing to do would be to abort a child with anencephaly or other disorders, defects, or conditions so the child doesn't suffer. Should a child be killed in the womb because the child is not healthy and is going to die anyway?

The pictures could be disturbing to some people as could pictures of people with other disorders, defects, or conditions. So what? Does Facebook ban people who post pictures of themselves or relatives or friends with other disorders, defects, or conditions, especially if those people are older babies, children, or adults? Does that not go against their anti-discrimination and anti-bullying policy? Why did Facebook ban this woman? Was it merely because the pictures were disturbing or that they considered her and her husband "cruel" for not aborting the child before birth?

Grayson wasn't perfect; he was born with a disorder. He and children with anencephaly are still made in the image of God; they just happen to have a severe medical disorder. People are not all "perfect", but people are perfectly loved by God. This child was loved and beautiful to God and his parents, siblings, and family.

If the mother did this out of love, I'm not sure I'd want to be holding that Facebook stock.

If we all "thumbs up" their face book page, does the birth defect go away?

That's how FaceBook works, right?

If there was ever a child of God it’s Grayson. The FB nazis wouldn’t understand that.

The pictures of the family holding the little guy are touching, even for the short time he was here, he was loved and has made an impact on all of them.

You can probably find pedophile groups easily on FB, but they apparently don’t offend liberals.

I thought I would be disturbed, but the photos were beautiful.

In all fairness, FB’s concern is likely that any pictures posted to their site can be copied and used for exploitative purposes. And there are plenty of sick people out there more than willing to do so.

Even Free Republic has to deal with the text version of a lot of that, and usually just cancel an article while saying, “No Thanks”. But photos can be far worse.

Though I haven’t seen any public mention of it, I imagine that FB is frequently sued by people over such things, pictures posted by users that inspire scoundrels to sue, and they just do not want to deal with it.

Those pictures brought me to tears, but they were happy tears, because that sweet baby was loved so much. God bless him and his loving family.

FB is a liberal Petri dish. God bless little Grayson and his family!

Here's an idea.

GET OFF FACEBOOK!

Sheesh, it's not a constitutional right to post whatever you want on the silly thing. Send pictures to your friends -- life goes on, you know.

Facebook. A company that just made it on the stock market.

I am waiting for the closing bell on Monday. If their stocks are $35.00 a share or LOWER I will bust a gut laughing.

Actually am not holding my breath for them to go up.
