Faith

Are you all serious with this? Your unborn child's brain is growing outside of it's skull, as we speak. You want to have the baby even though you know it's going to die within hours or minutes of it's birth? You want us to have a baby shower for you??? All the while your many specialist visits, and the impending c-section are all being paid for by medicaid, meaning paid for by the rest of us????

How is this really justified by your faith? This, I do not understand. This is like a Jehovah's Witness who will not receive a blood transfusion to save their life. God sent the doctors with the ability to save us, to ease suffering, to save you the pain of knowingly carrying a child to full term, only to lose it. I will never understand this. But, I have to keep my mouth shut and feign support for your decisions. I am the bad one if I don't.

As my previous post illustrated, there are differences of perception, and in my perception, you and your family are the bad ones here. You live off the state to pay for a complicated pregnancy that will require a c-section and special care for a child that is going to undoubtedly die. You put your friends and family in an uncomfortable, awkward position of having to give you a baby shower and put on happy faces and become accomplices in your denial of the real situation because if we don't support you, we are evil, intolerant people. All this in the name of your faith?

Not to mention, the longer you carry this child the more attached you will become and once you hold this baby in your arms? This is so much more difficult to get over than if you'd shown the strength enough to terminate this already doomed pregnancy. No, I do not believe this is murder. Not in this circumstance. God knows each life situation is unique unto itself, and I believe this is one of those extreme cases where a fully supervised medical intervention is justified in His eyes.

Listen, I have faith, but obviously my opinions on it are quite a bit different than yours. So, you go on with your farce, just don't include me in it by questioning the "extent" of my faith. Who is judging who now?
