[tri-wings] Re: Annie in the Canadian Medical Association Journal

You called Annie your child. They called her a fetus when they tested her
 and determined that you had a fetal abnormality. Abnormalities are easier to
 terminate than children

Thank you for your lovely words, Paul. I have a friend who is a holocaust 
survivor. She has seen many terrible things the worst of which was babies 
thrown in the air and bayoneted. 

She told me, "you see, they could do these things because they did not consider 
us to be human". 

That is the problem exactly. Once you have a genetic label (with terrible 
statistics associated with it) the child becomes a label and a lost cause. He 
or she is not a child anymore. 

The doctors were immune to Annie's suffering because she was sub-human. Sad, 
because even a dog would be recognized for suffering and someone would try to 
help it. 

If the system recognizes any value whatsoever to the lives of our children, 
however long, then they will have to accept that the abortions of the majority 
of them was wrong. You can't have it both ways; they cannot be children worthy 
of life and compassion and fetuses not worthy of even a natural life all at the 
same time. 

Sadly, the church in our part of the world is Ok with abortion if their are 
anomalies. I can't compete with the Church on the issue of sanctity of life. 
And so, there is little that can be done.
