It is possible to believe that abortion is a cessation of life and be utterly prochoice. We make difficult life choices as we move through our lives that have tremendous impact on others lives all of the time. We make those decisions for our precious, beloved pets in the name of compassion. We make decisions for our aging parents. Ethical process is so personal and requires a soul searching inventory to be right in my opinion.

I do think that if a women was raped she should not have to live with that horror, but I don't think determining a medical problem gives us the right to decide life or death. of course my outlook has changed since having Jax, and I also have a best friend with a T13 little girl, also said not to be compatible with life, but she's celebrating her 3rd birthday next week. I also know a couple of T18's and other trisomies. Sheesh, its such a hard question to answer isn't it?Laceyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03321275110857561824noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4373649301575623347.post-63745004677482186532009-06-09T14:13:56.032-04:002009-06-09T14:13:56.032-04:00Yeah, I wish we'd been spared the "horror...Yeah, I wish we'd been spared the "horror" that is Down syndrome. (read that DRIPPING with sarcasm!) I'm pro-life. In my view, too many people do the "I don't know how I could do it!" when asked "what if you got a prenatal diagnosis?" Well, most of us would never have voluntarily put ourselves there, but I think most of us agree that while the road is not EASY (Hey, I've raised 5, and NONE of them were easy) it's not all doom and gloom either. Sometimes we have to do things that aren't easy in order to grow! Just my opinion, since we're sharing. ;-)<br />http://gardenofeagan.blogspot.com/2009/06/13-years-ago.htmlLeahhttp://www.gardenofeagan.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4373649301575623347.post-32769715276784452009-06-09T12:06:37.436-04:002009-06-09T12:06:37.436-04:00Thank you so much for this post. Thank you, thank...Thank you so much for this post. Thank you, thank you, thank you for your searing honesty and intelligence.<br /><br />I too am pro-choice. And a Christian. I like to think I would not choose abortion under any circumstances. But you're right...no matter how horrified we are at the very thought of abortion, we never know exactly what we would choose if we were in any particular situation, until we are <i>there</i>. Because we are fallible, selfish....human.<br /><br />And it is so true that doctors tend to paint the blackest picture possible when they discover that something is wrong with an unborn child. <br /><br />I praise the Lord that they did not know anything had gone awry with my little granddaughter/adopted daughter Emma, when she was in the womb. Her biological mother was homeless during pregnancy and so did not have pre-natal care. She probably would have terminated if she had been told that her baby had two serious (rare) conditions that resulted in a malformed brain, missing arm bones and cerebral palsy, as well as life-threatening-ly low blood platelet levels.<br /><br />Emma turned 3 years old two days ago, on June 7th...she is an active happy girl with a loving heart. She loves her life, and we are very blessed to have her in ours.JoAnnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04506998760851891610noreply@blogger.com
