The implication that a genetic disorder is reason for death easily slides into disregard for the age of the person with the genetic disorder - esp. when viewed primarily on a cost basis. <BR/><BR/>From some I hear that 'pro-choice' has never been about choice. It's always meant pro-abortion. I hear, anyway.

Wh...This post had nothing per se against abortion. While I am definately in my personal beliefs, against abortion, I would not vote on a candidate solely on that issue. Nor does the post have to do with candidates. (Obviously, those of us who are voting will need to take funding for special needs as a criterion to consider.)<BR/> <BR/>What I am saying, is not only are we going away from the view that a baby has a right to live, we are reaching, quickly, the stage where the mother does not have the right to choose, is that choice will cost society money.<BR/> This attitude of "Why should we pay for your choice of a spcial-needs child is growing, and is very dangerous. The minute we see any person as an "expense", we are very quickly on the slope that says some people have a right to live, and some don't.rickismomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07817042750959998664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2186797796234731983.post-67826822562439875502008-09-12T20:25:00.000+03:002008-09-12T20:25:00.000+03:00You have to understand that Canada is a socialist ...You have to understand that Canada is a socialist country and our universal health care creates an environment that views the "burden" you "choose" to take on as everyone's "burden".<BR/><BR/>Consider which candidate wants to bring the US toward a more socialist system and who wants to bring universal healthcare to the US.<BR/><BR/>Many parents here are scrutinizing state budgets looking for some extra cash for their kids education. It goes way beyond funding dollars if you have a child with special needs.Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09327875062431345718noreply@blogger.com
