Those people are evil, the doctors are evil, and CNN is evil for framing the story this way. “They just want to hold their ABORTED baby.”
Aaaaand sympathy gone

🤢 These people? SICKKKKK! 🤢
Underlying issue is abortion itself. In these cases, parents should have the right to an abortion. Might be an unpopular opinion here, but bringing a baby into the world with defects that are going to require so much care and reduced quality of life for the baby needs to be taken into account.
Are any of us perfect or are we blessed by God defects and all? My 27 yo daughter had a bad prenatal test. Options were she was a twin or had spina bifida. She wasn't a twin. My own mom begged me to abort because I had two other children and worked full time in tech. She literally said I couldn't handle it. I chose not to abort. That baby is now a microbiologist and manage 5 labs at MSU. My ex had a peemie baby brother with Rh- that died after 9 hours. He still impacts the family to this day, some 50+ years later. All children arrive here on a mission from God. They may not be perfect but they have the right to live their lives. Its our job to protect them.
You win. Your ticket into paradise was punched the minute you agreed to have that baby, especially against the pressures of the very people who should have been your support. I will likely never meet you anon, but know this, I will not forget your story. ❤️
Much more than I can ask fren. LetS hope God feels I have done as He would have me. Its all anyone us can do in the short life we are given. Be blessed.
May I ask your opinion on the Plan B pill? Anyone who wants to can chime in as well.
To me, insofar as Plan B is contraception (thus, preventing conception), while not ideal, it's far preferable to creating a life only to snuff it out as if it were just a "clump of cells".
Why are you interested in my opinion on that, and why would it matter?
Unpopularity aside. I dont understand that at all. Maybe I dont see caring for a child as work. But it seems even if someone defines it as work, what is it interfering with exactly? More time working for the system?
And how is "reduced quality of life" somehow worse than death?
I have a child with a “defect” that many abort for. We were even given that option. Would you like to ask him if his life is worthwhile? This 20 young man who lives a completely normal life despite only having half a heart?
“Well, then his condition isn’t what I’m talking about”, you say? Well, how were we to know that he would do so well? He could have been one of the unlucky ones. Should we have aborted just in case? And if so, could “just in case” be applied across the board? What about babies to be born to the very very poor? The babies born to drug addicts? The babies born to those with illness/disease that may impact the child? Where does it stop?
And who defines quality of life? Again, how about you ask those with what you perceive to be a reduced quality of life if they would rather have never been born? I think you might be surprised by the answers you get
