That statement is a lie.

The truth is that they would have terminated the pregnancy if they had known about Downs, but the test was done incorrectly so they never knew until the baby was born.

based on what doctors told them, according to ABC News, and would have terminated it if they had not been assured their baby did not have the genetic condition.


How is it a lie?

So basically what you're saying is that if the test had been done correctly and they had known about the Downs they would have... wanted to terminate the pregnancy! ZOMG POET WAS *SO* LYING! angry

Oh yeah... the government. Soon.

Someone made a mistake; give me money.

The fact that everyone's insurance will go up to give these leaches money seems to escape your average liberal; who tomorrow will be screaming about the high cost of medical care.

Uh Puma, someone is going to have to pay the costs of providing for this kid from cradle to grave. I would rather it be the people at fault than the taxpayer or the people who did nothing wrong.

2.9 million projected over a lifetime of 50 years (reasonable these days for people with downs) is not that much money. Comes out to about 60k/year. That's probably more than you realistically need to care for a kid with downs per year but it's not ridiculously high.

So are you saying people should not be responsible for their mistakes? You should never post anything again about personal responsibility, you are a failure as a conservative.
