Thanos 170:

Tiller performed 4,800 abortions from 98 forward, of those 2000 were non viable fetus’s. Many were referrals from law enforcement agencies from other states with rape and incest cases. The others were viable but with serious disabilities that would cause lifetimes of pain.

My daughter has profound autism. She is twelve and is non-verbal. Nor has she been able to master any other methods of communication. She cannot cross a street by herself, find her way home, nor recognize many common dangers.

Sounds like she would have been a good candidate for abortion. However she is a very happy girl, well young lady now. Who brings us boundless joy. We went through very bad times when she seemed to be nothing but tooth and claw. Efforts to console her meant withstanding terrificly hard bites on your shoulder and bloody arms from her scratching. Many parents have of autistic children have gone through this, and nearly all will tell you it was worth every second.

Life is precious, even for people who have serious disabilities. It is precious for the child with CP who will never be able to get out his wheel chair by himself. Once you have a “special” child you begin to meet people which children having a vast array of disabilities. I’ve never met one who would have been better off dead.

Taking of a life is wrong. Dr Tiller’s life was also precious. No one had the right to take it. Nobody is completely bad or good. Dr Tiller committed heinous acts. Dr. Tiller
showed compassion. His acts are not to be celebrated nor is his death.
