Abortion

I didn’t plan to get political, but what kind of world do we live in where we accept doctors killing unborn babies ‘cause they have a cleft lip and palete? Check out this article http://www.guardian.co.uk/uk_news/story/0,3604,1439312,00.html/

It is shocking to think that a cleft lip could be considered a handicap worthy of death. The doctors and the ‘mother’ think that it is better the child not live a life with a facial scar. Better for the child to be put to death in the place he should be protected, by the very person who should protect him, than to deal with corrective surgery, difficulty eating and school yard teasing.

How do people not see this as brutal?

Eugenics?

Nazism?

There is irony in the fact that this article was posted on the day that Scott Peterson was given the death penalty in part for killing his unborn son.
