EDIT: [AS IN] I can't seem to form an opinion on this subject as presented in the article. I don't know whether or not to be for it or against it - for this specific ideal.

I think that the article focuses on infants but unfortunately I always think of ...where will this lead to next? Because that's how laws change, by thinking of the next logical step. If you allow the process for an infant on life support what about the two year old, or the three year old?

I hate it but some time I think the worst of what human kind can do. I try not to read the news because I can't get images of human cruelty out of my head. Like the mom, who cut her baby's arms off, in 'post partum depression'. That stuff make me ill... this issue, I have no idea.

I think that responsible parents should have the choice. I also think we should be at a place, medically, that we should know that there is a problem before the baby is born or even before the 3 month abortion cut off date so decision can be made before birth. That is my opinion but it is hard to say.

Unfortunately, the late-term abortion procedures available to the mother of a child with spina bifida are far more cruel and painful than an injection of sedatives after birth. And prior to the last trimester it can be very difficult to diagnose.

See... more information I just didn't know.

ACK! this forming an opinion thing is hard than it looks! :)
