heart broken

It absolutely breaks my heart these days to see what people say and how they do not value other human beings. The message board I am on on a regular basis proved to me that my little world is not so realistic. I like to believe that people are not so hateful and not so selfish that if they were to find out their child was not perfect, they would love it all the same and continue with the pregnancy. Apparently... this is not how it goes! I was shocked to see so many women - who are pregnant, have children, or are trying to get pregnant - said they would kill their baby if they found out it had some sort of severe disability. What are they going to do if something isn't detected and they find out after birth that the child has a severe disability? How many times have those tests been wrong? How many times have people beat the odds? How could somebody still decide to terminate a child based on a probability?

There are some things that I will just never understand. Ever. Maybe it is because I have been touched by people with special needs. I have been touched by families of those with special needs. I could never make a decision to kill my baby because it wasn't perfect. God would not give me something I couldn't handle. Not to say it wouldn't be hard - I'm not saying that at all. But, if God brings me to it - He'll bring me through it. Even if I am kicking and screaming and crying the whole time! Haha.
