Soap Box

Mark and I are both pro-life. I have read the FOCA (freedom of choice act) which would legalize partial birth abortions. I also read statements from nurses who worked at a hospital in Illinois where abortions failed and babies were left to die in utility closets. This sickens me. I can't imagine aborting a child after learning it was going to have a defect, (down syndrome, chromosome disorders, etc.). If we are willing to do this, when will the time come that we will euthanize severely disabled individuals who are zapping the federal funds? Or would it become legal to euthanize your child when you find they have autism or some other disorder? If we view babies with disabilities as having no worth do they ever gain their value? Did my daughter lose her value when she was diagnosed with her disorder? Not in my eyes. I don't understand how these women can have good consciouses after performing such an act.
