Down's Syndrome children aren't necessarily totally incapacitated, and no one has the right to deprive him of his chance at life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness as best as he can. Any one of us can end up brain-damaged and just as disabled. Does that mean a mother should be able to starve or asphyxiate a child that had a head injury?

No, it means that at the heart of medicine and law in America is an hypocrisy so vile that to prosecute a woman that kills her neonate is a double standard since the doctors are allowed to do it at their whim if in a hospital setting. Once the liberal puke-faced judges commit such atrocious duplicity as to condemn a woman for these vile acts you mention yet ignore 'for societal engineering purposes' the 'doctors' who do the same and worse, the judicial process is a farce. This is the demonic harvest predicted by some when Roe v Wade was decided as it was by the leftists bastards that sat that unconstitutional court in 1973, may they rot in Hell, those that wrote in support/concurrence with the sick excuse for a chief justice.

Thank you for your post.

I am the grandmother of a Down's boy, and he is in no way handicapped, or disabled. He is now 4 years old and very bright, because we do not treat him as if he has a problem, we expect him to learn and to be the best he can be, just like any other child. He is the light of my life and "IF" I could I would not reverse the situation. I was belssed with a son who died at age 24 after 8 years and 8 brain tumor operations. He too was bright, and "IF" I could I would not bring him back, but our Lord blessed us with this little grandson to fill the void. When he was born I told his parents how bless they were to be chosen by our Lord to take care of HIS little soul, that HE gave them this boy because HE knew they could handle the job, they were hand picked.

I never look at people with disablilties as being a problem, only opportunities for me to learn from them and serve.

Downs Syndrome is not a disablity, we are blessed for their being alive.
