@ericawordsmith – Thank you soooo much for this post. I haven’t seen it yet. I’d like too, even though I know I’d just be crying my eyes out, and rightfully so, but I don’t know if we will, I haven’t asked yet.

I always knew abortion was horrible, but when my sister was born with Down Syndrome and we started learning about that more, I was absolute horrified and so angry to realize that many people abort their baby when they find out it has Down Syndrome because they think that’s the right thing to do. They claim it’s better for the baby, more humane… it’s hard to even think about it.

And the different kinds of people too. The people that are misled and they don’t really get it, they just listen to the doctor telling them it’s humane and they do it, and then the people who know what they’re doing and still do it anyways. And the people who think that just because you have a defect means your life should be ended so you don’t become a burden to your family.

It just makes me cry sometimes, and so angry, to think that there are people out there that believe my little sister doesn’t have the right to live. That somehow being ‘defective’ means that she no longer should have her right to life. It’s horrible!

I’m praying that bill gets passed, and that this movie will move people’s hearts. Thank you for bringing it up on here.
