Some doctor from Canada has come out and said Sarah Palin is a bad example having her child with down syndrome:
that greater public awareness of women making choices like Palin to complete a pregnancy and give birth to their genetically-abnormal baby could be detrimental and confusing to the women and their families.
“The worry is that this will have an implication for abortion issues in Canada.”
When someone starts saying this kind of life is unlivable and should be murdered, we are heading down a slippery slope. The next thing will be children with terminal illness can and should be killed by their parents. Even children from families that cannot cope with their children's special needs.

Please pray for a cure for Type One Diabetes
Our sons Tom and Christopher and our daughter Amelia are type one diabetics. We pray everyday for a cure. We do not want one by illicit means though so don't support any organisation that contributes to Embryonic Stem Cell Research. Click on the photo of Tom and Christopher to read about why I am against using Embryonic Stem cells for a cure.

New book: Faith Quilt.
All proceeds from sales of "FAITH QUILT" going to "Casa de Amor Children's Homes in Bolivia" and "Sarah's Covenant Homes in India" Two truly extraordinary organisations that take in the most needy children and give them a place of love and security to call home.

oh really? well my sister mary is handicapped, and we love her and cannot imagine our lives without her! father told me that people like mary go straight to heaven because they cannot sin, so who are we to think for one second that a handicapped person is not loved by God and therefore serves no real purpose in life? some of the NICEST people i know in my life are handicapped! my life is richer because i know them!
this guy is the BAD example for saying what he did! the backlash against him is not going to be good! he is on the fast track to hell, and unless he repents, he wont be going to heaven!
I just finished reading a series set in WWII. This is how the Holocaust began..killing the handicapped, people the nazi's labeled 'subhuman'. You're so right, it is truly a slippery, dangerous slide our society is on. I'm being convicted that I NEED to be 'political'. We need to rise up and with one voice say 'no more'.

“The worry is that this will have an implication for abortion issues in Canada.”
I pray it does!
Hmmmm. Peter Singer anyone? I had him for lecturer and tutor.
This is precisely the argument that he makes for infanticide. He teaches undergraduates: abortion is obviously OK, birth is an arbitrary point that occurs between 7 and 9 months later so if the baby is born deformed then it can still be aborted (after being born) - i.e. infanticide.
I had the to gall to agree that birth was a arbitrary point in time and therefore abortion was just as wrong as infanticide. He failed my work because (and I quote) "At this level of study you are expected to show that you understand what you are taught". My fault for thinking that all my postgraduate qualifications demonstrated my ability to think.....
