I know. It's completely irresolvable and unwinnable. Basically, you make a judgement call as to what point it is acceptable to terminate a pregnancy and that's the long and short of it. There's just no way to "win" your position on the matter. I was indirectly pointing this out by asking you impossible to answer questions.
Perhaps you could just suggest that the person drawing your ire take a moment to perish in an instance of rapid oxidation. The mods might let that slide.Originally posted by: nan0bug
I'd rather not get another warning from the mods.

I can't say exactly what I would do in her case since it's not my own flesh and blood child. What I would be inclined to do though, is exactly what she did. As far as I can see and hope, I want a normal son or daughter. Who doesn't ? But that may be enough drive for me to decide to abort. But again, I won't know if I truly feel this way when it comes time that he or she is mine.
My older sister had down syndrome until she passed away 4 years ago. That really has to relevance to my position. If that child had a 20% chance of being normal, it should have been given that chance, or been taken care of before it was fully developed. A fully developed baby is a human life, and taking that for any reason, except in defense of your own or someone elses, is wrong. I'm not going to try to force my opinion on you, this thread simply asked me to state mine.

Suggestion duly noted
My opinion, she just murdered her child. The thought of it sickens me. No doubt a difficult decision on her part. But I would have to say the wrong decision. The child deserved a chance at life.

But what he said is exactly what you are arguing in favor of. That we should kill people who have defects.
WTF difference does it make whether it's done when the child is halfway born or when the child is 10 years old. It's the EXACT same logic: The child has or will have a poor quality of life so put them out of their misery by killing them.

she killed her baby. it's that simple.
and i guarantee she will suffer emotionally and mentally for that decision the rest of her life.

She did the right thing.
This is the perfect example of why abortions should be legal.

you have your opinion, and i have mine.
but remember you have your say only because your momma didn't abort you.
That's because she had every reason to believe he'd be a perfectly healthy child. Which is NOT THE ISSUE AT HAND.
Just in case you missed that. :roll:

She killed a baby that could not survive without constant care for the rest of his life most likely.
Are you beliefs based on religion or logic?
Nature shows that if an animal is mentally defective, it won't survive. Only reason mental defects are sustained when it comes to a human is the parents take on the responsibility to care for it.
That is a HUGE thing to ask of anyone. Humans reproduce because of the natural urge to spread our seed. Caring for a mentally defective child goes against this completely.
Abortion would not be neccessary if more people were willing to adopt children. But HELL, we can't even place all the normal kids born where the parent/parents give them up.
So when all the orphaned kids get adopted and we have a large group of people willing to adopt mentally retarded children come back here and you can condemn something.
I didn't ask people if they condemned her actions. I asked what they would have done.
Right and an 80% chance of having an existence one step removed from hell on earth for both parent and child. Don't tell me you wouldn't even consider doing what she did if you were in her position.
