http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,363434,00.html Just take a look at the expression on that kid's face and tell me it'll lead a normal life. Thing looks like it's either about to start drooling or pull out a gun and go on a killing spree. Abortion survivor...something inside that child has changed. Looks like a veteran of some horrific war, "I have seen Hell on Earth...and it's in that woman's vagina." And that woman...birth control AND and abortion... talk about pregnant against your will. Next thing she'll say is they used a condom and he pulled out. EDIT: I haven't had much sleep, and if any of this doesn't make sense or offends someone...I apologize, but really can't hold myself accountable. You can't let logic or reason get in the way of these things. "I'm sorry ma'am, we TRIED to kill your son...little bastard is resilient. Please don't sue us..." "It's ok, he survived this time...but he'll have to come out of hiding in a few months a face us like a real human. You know cause right now it's just a lump of cells that won't die..." "Your're still pregnant?! Man, now we know how the kid's father feels...." I really am enjoying myself. Honestly, I'm really a nice, caring individual in real life... this whole dark humour thing can't be taken seriously. I'm glad he's alive.
Dunno about anyone else, but I think there's a huge difference in aborting a baby conceived at a drunken frat party and one that in all likelihood was expected to die of a diseased the mother watched another child suffer from. And it's not like the weren't using protection anyway. I'm not seeing the , the inevitable usual abortion shitstorm notwithstanding.
The child of prophecy has come at last. Soon the Dark Times will begin. Already the forces are gathering. What rough beast, its hour come round at last, slouches towards Bethlehem to be born?
You think man? I thought that would be worse...you know anyone can get a gun, but nerve gas, mustard gas...kinda seems hard to come by, even for a demented baby. Is that a common threat in your area or something?
Well, let's look at your family's medical history and see if we can't "save" you from years of suffering...
In any case, I feel sorry for that kid. The woman's logic is completely absurd and utterly selfish ("I couldn't cope with the anguish of losing another baby."); his childhood is either going to be entirely taxing, and/or he'll stumble upon this gem of a story and sell his parents to the glue factory.
Medical procedures sometimes fail. If the kid turns out healthy, he hit the cosmic lottery. If his kidneys start to turn into Cream of Wheat and he dies a painful death in a few years he hit the cosmic lottery of a different kind.
Do you know what it's like to sit and watch a child die? Oh, you don't? Unless you have (and I sincerely hope no one here ever has to go through that), I suggest kindly shut the fuck up with your self-righteous bullshit. People have abortions for far stupider reasons. Such as condoms not feeling as good as going bareback. Fuckin' A.
I don't care about your indignation, my analysis was perfect. She did it for her own reasons, without any real proof the child was in danger. Christ, if she had smashed him against the wall, you'd be up in arms and she'd be in prison, but instead she took a vacuum cleaner to her cooch so you're in her corner.
I could lie, but I won't. Doesn't change a thing. I refuse to be swayed by your or her emotions; the facts are what they are.
Well, I found a link: http://www.childrensmemorial.org/depts/fetalhealth/fetal_mcdk.aspx Says many of the kids with this disease do live relatively normal lives. I still stand by what I said earlier. I don't judge the woman, as I have no idea how long it was after losing the first one that she got pregnant again, her emotional state, ect. I doubt it would be a great idea to have a kid when you're still in mourning over another one. About the only stupid thing was getting this story out in the media for the kid to find later. She should have kept her mouth shut and hid that little factoid from him. Still don't see the
What drama? I said I felt sorry for her kid and that she was a twit, you're the one who blew it out of proportion.
^ A twit for saying she had the procedure because she couldn't cope with the loss of another child? I'm sure there was a way of making the same point without sounding so callous and flippant. I can't imagine losing a child is something every person can just get over, and if they can't handle the thought of putting themselves in that situation again needlessly, who are we to judge? The glad she lucked out on this kid, though.
Meh, both mother and child are relatively ok. Shouldn't we really be concerned about the shoddy drugs and medical practices that are the result of a socialized health system?
