Abortion in the case of disability

[Ave Maria]

That's a shame, because we're all God's children. Had you been aborted because of your disability, you may not have known Christ. And I'd be hardpressed to be friends with someone who'd rather a special needs child be dead than alive. I find that view (that disabled children should be aborted) to be far more sickening than me not wanting to spend time with a person who believes it.

First of all, of course we are all God's children! A fetus or an embryo is not a child. Second of all, if I had been aborted, I wouldn't have needed to know Christ so that is a moot point of yours. Third, I never said that special needs children were better off dead than alive. I said that in some cases, the most merciful thing to do is to abort a disabled child rather than force them to live a life filled with suffering and torment.
