Comments on: Baby’s life in jeopardy http://online.worldmag.com/2008/11/18/babys-life-in-jeopardy/ A forum for discussion of news that arises at the intersection of Christianity and culture. Sat, 21 Nov 2009 16:46:45 -0500 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 hourly 1 By: chalzz http://online.worldmag.com/2008/11/18/babys-life-in-jeopardy/comment-page-1/#comment-371443 chalzz Wed, 19 Nov 2008 02:29:59 +0000 http://online.worldmag.com/?p=18066#comment-371443 Even more ironic about this situation is that if this woman were wealthy, in China she could pay the fines to keep her baby. Communism, which purports to equal out an unequal system of distribution, acts just like capitalism it would seem in that those that are wealthy have more power than those that don't have wealth. If we keep re-electing our socialist left leaning politicians in this country, one day our grandchildren too might be forced to terminate their second pregnancies and maybe even pull the plug on their parents.

What a predicament to have to choose between her born and unborn children. How does a family ever recover from such an atrocity? Where is the pro-choice community to protect this woman's choice to keep her baby?! China's policy is so Satanic. This is no "blob of tissue" that they want to abort. The US doesn't force abortions, but our nation is guilty of innocent blood, too. Actually, I'm sure there are women who are forced to undergo abortions here, too, but by abusive boyfriends or parents, rather than gov't. The "clinics" are complicit in this by not reporting underage girls who come in for abortions. This poor woman. What a predicament to have to choose between her born and unborn children.

What would that number be, you think? Hundreds? Thousands? Who knows? We don't do body counts. Buckets of outrage for the Chinese gummint doing the evil they do. "Pro-life!" Nary a tear shed for the evil we do. "Sorry. Collateral damage ..." Kwerna,

I pray for my own country not to be like those who passed by the man on the roadside: busy with their own lives, enjoying their own freedoms, smug in their comfort. May we be like the good Samaritan instead and do what we can to end this horror. I pray not only for this family, but for all the Chinese to be free some day.

That changes everything. Tis better to sacrifice the child than lose the farm AND the baby.
