Some People are Just Incapable of ‘Unconditional Love’, Especially of The Innocent

WaPo Opinion writer, Ruth Marcus, penned this a few days ago: I would’ve aborted a fetus with Down syndome. Women need that right. (I will not link to it, so, google her name and the title of the article if you please.)

Stephen Hawking died this morning. If the likes of WaPo writer Ruth Marcus were told that baby would develop ALS early in his adult life and be confined to a wheelchair completely at the physical mercy of people 24/7 caring for him would they have aborted that male fetus?

Yes, Hawking’s mind was on a totally different intellectual level than a Down Syndrome individual (and make no mistake in judging DS people are all alike … and the likes of Ruth Marcus do commit that horrible mistake), but most DS individuals are functioning, interesting, and as inspirational as any other person in this world, on a ‘simple’ level we have all arrogantly taken for granted.

I say this as the proud Mom of a beautiful 18 year old daughter about to graduate high school in a couple months. Our family has been so blessed with her brilliance, brightness, energy, happiness, lovingness, intellectual simplicity and selfless kindness … LOVE FOR LIFE.

I have two older daughters that were in middle school and high school at the time of her birth (I was unexpectedly ‘expecting’ at 41, even though I had taken measures not to become such). Her two older sisters went on to become medical doctors, one a professor and the other part of the teaching faculty in a hospital. When my two older daughters were told about the genetic condition of their baby sister when we brought her home (and I’d had no prenatal AFT because I swore to God I would fully accept this gift, no matter what) they swore allegiance to protecting her and nurturing her forever, one even getting the phone number of the mother of a mainstreamed DS sister of a student in the high school so I could begin my new experience on the right track for our beautiful special baby and our family. Our older daughters were in on their sister’s doctor and specialist visits and decisions we were contemplating making for her in her care and education. If they were to possibly become her guardian(s) in the future they would also need that foundation of knowledge in her life’s timeline. As fate would have it, it contributed greatly later for them in the medical educations as young adults, and they were more than able to contribute to their classmates during those chapters.

We thank God everyday for entrusting this human individual with us, and we thank our DS daughter everyday for making us stronger, smarter, and enlightened as a family … and as human individuals.

The rewards far, far outweigh the difficulties…

And this…

    […] haven’t agreed with George Will on politics much of late but I think he read Ruth Marcus’s pro-abort DS babies missive the other day in the same publication and feels, as do I, the need to speak up and defend this […]
