Murder isn’t a right!!
So sad that this baby's life was ended so prematurely. To be proud of killing anything is horrific. Even putting animals down is sad. We should protect life, not devalue it for our convenience.
Doctors can be wrong about the baby's outlook. Could a cesarian have avoided extra injury to the baby? I've seen other stories where doctors were completely wrong about the baby's deformaties and the baby came out normal. But still, abortion should be a medical option in some instances. There are many grey areas in life.
I’m afraid I cannot agree. As a Christian, I recognize any life is valued. Plus, it sounds like your doctors weren’t even 100% sure. I think prayers are needed. I pray you will come to Our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ. God bless you!

As a disabled woman, thank you! This woman decided her child was garbage because he was disabled. What a disgusting mother. So he may have needed a feeding tube? So what? I had a feeding tube for 10 years and still lived a wonderful life. What it comes down to is this lady did not want to be burdened by a medically fragile child. She is extremely selfish for not accepting the way her child was made.

What's sad is that this kind of story is usually what is pushed to try to make it to where "abortion is normal" but the percentage of situations like this are so small it's crazy. Last I saw, more than 3 quarters of abortions committed are by women who have done it 3 or more times. And the vast majority list the reason for the abortion as "having a baby would dramatically change my life" and "I can't afford a baby now" (cited by 74% and 73%, respectively-
I don’t see how anyone could be proud of killing their child. I’m not saying you did the wrong thing necessarily, but your view of it is warped.

She’s so evil!!
To know what you have to do is one thing, but not to be proud.
I think that her situation is exceptional. That was not a normal pregnancy. And, it is unlikely that that child would have lived, but that innocent life deserves to be uplifted, not crushed just because it is malformed. Exodus 4:11 God creates life, God knew that little one and Jesus is holding him in his arms right now. We are silly if we think we hold the key to all the answers in this life. I dont know what I would do if I were in that same situation, but we need to protect the lives of others around us, and a baby in the womb is one of THE most vulnerable people in the world. Same as that mama...so I will not judge her, that is NOT my job. But I know the one who can. And he sees into man's heart and what is hidden there.

Jesus creates every single life. You can not kill a baby because it is different. If a baby is disabled, it is because Jesus choose that path for that child. I am disabled and I am so happy Jesus made me this way. I am made in HIS image and likeness. Please do not have children if you don’t want to accept whatever child Jesus blesses you with.
