Yep. I have read testimonials from prolife families who talked about their brave decision to give birth to children with dreadfully fatal conditions…and then talk about what a blessing it was to spend an hour with a daughter (in excrutiating pain she could not undertstand) before they “gave her back to God”.

Then they want to force that on everybody else.

It’s a blessing, you see.

I was so horrified and enraged I started crying.

‘Blessing’ has become the most abused word in the English language. People used to take deformed babies to the river and drown them.

Full disclosure, I gave birth to a handicapped child at six months in 1978.
