I`m not hear to attack some1else,I do support his right to follow his beliefs. But as to use that as the excuse to not join a union is making quite a stretch. The only thing I call into question with him/her is whether or not,while being devoutly anti-abortion,has the need/option ever touched them or their immediate family. Too many are stoutly one way or another from a third party aspect,it`s easy when it doesn`t touch you.
I can speak from a personal standpoint. Without going into great detail my wife and I found out in utero that our third child was going to be born with a disability. They sat us down at the hospital and gave us the results of all the tests,pointed out the statistical problems this child was going to have, and then gave us the options. One of those was to terminate the pregnancy,it was pointed out that roughly 85% of pregnancy's like ours were. My wife and I had already discussed this and knew our decision but even with the decision in our heads it`s impossible to describe the ton of bricks that hit you when it`s you they`re talking to rather than hearing about it on tv. Needless to say we had our son,albeit prematurely,and by what ever luck,grace,blessing you want to attribute it to he was perfectly healthy aside from his genetic disability.
Because he was premature he had to stay at the NICU unit at the University of Chicago for two weeks and while attending to our child we witnessed what true suffering is. Their are children their so horrifically disabled that they have no chance of survival without constant medical care. Every day will be spent with pain of some sort.
Now despite my personal feelings and what I have witnessed I still support the right to chose. What was right for me may not be right for someone else. And that is why I disagree with Some1else. If they are against someone having that right and demanding for these children to be born then they better be there after the birth to care for them.
