our actual first born is beyond brilliant and is quite healthy and will very likely be someone who contributes massively to civilization's well being. if you don't hear of him within the next ten years i will be amazed.
if i had been willing to endure the role of parent to a tragically born child, there would have been no second birth. but because we were not so burdened we were blessed with a second healthy child. her intellectual talents do not compare with that of her older brother (even tho she maintains a 4.0 GPA at the state university) but she has a variety of gifts and will also very likely be a significant contributor to the world's condition.
i share this with you because this side of the story is so seldom heard. a fetus was intentionally aborted for medical reasons and as a result, two wonderful talented persons will add to this planet ... which would not have been the circumstance but for the abortion.

You and your wife obviously did make that decision lightly! There are those who would say that you could have given that child up for adoption but I will not stand in judgement of you but I will stand in the judgement that you and your wife had that right to make that decision whether or not I or amyone else agreed with you or not. Those who want to stand in judgement of you had better read that Book which they are so fond of quoting and missquoting before they render another judgement of anyone!!

That is the most disgustingly selfish thing I've ever heard.

I am saddened that someone convinced you of this.

Then you should be! I get all warm and fuzzy inside when I see a mom and dad, proud of what their child is becoming.

If I could give you a green dot, I honestly would. This is awesome!

I appreciate this, more than I can rightly express. Posts like this add a tremendous value to this forum. That's why I love coming here and reading.
What makes me sad is not what you wrote, but what you are suggesting as a criteria for viability is how much work you would have to do. Its a good thing, I guess, that you were not the Father of Christopher Reeve or Joni Erikson Tada or FDR or Chris Burke. For all these people had truly exceptional people who cared for them.
I can't judge you. You decided what was best for your family. I can't fault you for that. You were only going on information you were given by people you trust. I pray that you have good success and love your whole life. I pray that God enables your children to become people who can make a positive difference.
But wouldn't it be ironic, if they became the scientists who discovered a means by which the birth defect your first child had, could be reversed? And wouldn't it be tragic, if they did, and several thousand parents didn't find out about it, until it was too late?
