- Liam is not an angel. Neither is your kid. They're just kids.
- Liam is not a special gift from God. What does that make Juliana? And, how fucking presumptuous of you to assume what someone else's private beliefs are.
- There are no such things as death panels.
- You can be pro-choice and choose to have a child with Down syndrome. The idea is not mutually exclusive. Being pro-choice and having a child with Down syndrome does not make someone a horrible advocate for their child. Or a bad parent.
There. I feel better now.
I've felt all these things for, well, forever. Except for #3 which is recent. I'm tired of letting it fester.
High-fiving you across the internet. Excellent post.
rock on!
Totally totally agree. Particularly with #4, which seems so hard for people to understand!
Can you read my inner thoughts? The “angel” thing particularly bothers me since my son (who happens to have DS) is in his terrible two’s and frankly I am growing grey hairs chasing after him! I wish he was an angel!!!
I’m with ya. I get #2 alot because he’s adopted – along with what a wonderful person I am for taking the child in. Bugs the crap out of me.
awesome.
You rock.
