FREE WILL





i just can't get it out of my mind that in some parts of the supposedly civilised world, women are
LEGALLY allowed to  TERMINATE/ABORT at 7 months, BECAUSE their child has DOWN SYNDROME/ a handicap/a genetic disorder.

i know of someone who is probably going to do this tonight... even with her mother saying she would take the child and find a home for it. 

if the child's life would be terminated AFTER birth at 7 months, this would be called MURDER.

if the child didn't have a handicap/genetic disorder (and the mother's life was not threatened), this would be called MURDER.

FREE WILL CAN BE SUCH A CURSE.

This is so sad - it's such a difficult thing...and unfortunately, not everyone can see how being "different" can be just fine : )
Now that we're nearly 7 months along, I have a much different perspective on all of this than I did before we were expecting. That baby becomes your child long before they're born.
