I am also observing in our society that the will to prevent disabilities includes the tendency to remove disabled persons. Killing babies at birth is a disaster, and in my opinion abortions of children who might (not necessarily will) be disabled fall into the same category.

They are Christians and a perfectly happy family. I became a little envious. Hi Claire,
