I just don't understand how you are given a perfect gift of a baby and because it's diagnosed with an abnormality, you chose to abort that life. I get that life with a Downs Syndrome child is a harder one than one with a 'normal' child but let me tell you that there is no thing as a normal child. Each child has their own challenges. They're all challenges that you learn to deal with and/or overcome. Your child may be challenged in school, they may not be the athlete you want them to be, they may not be able to make friends, they may have a speech impediment, their eye may twitch funny, or one of many other things that make them not perfect. She would abort them too because they many have problems? No, you learn to love them and make their lives as great as you can. You teach them that they are here for a reason and you help them to grow to be good people that love their neighbors and God.
I wish I could take all these children and give them the home and the life they all deserve. I can't imagine what those little lives felt as they were ripped from the happy home that they knew for however many weeks/months. The pain of their hearts stopping, their bodies not functioning anymore, their bodies being thrown away like trash. Don't think for a minute that they didn't feel the pain, they did. Science has proven that babies feel pain even before they are born.
The only comfort I can find in this is they are now rejoicing in the perfect world, with a life full of color and joy and music. They are singing with Jesus and worshiping their maker right now. This is the only way that I can think of these little ones, otherwise I am consumed with the pain of knowing that they were not given the chance that they deserved.
I pray for the parents of these little ones that they not only understand what they have done but that they will find comfort in knowing that they can be forgiven only by Him who holds their children now in his arms.
