Please all of you people persecuting Lynda Waddington take a look at this picture. You like to have all of your partial bith pics to show the horrors. This is what her and my child looked like. Anencephaly, is not curable...there is no therapy for it. Bottom line will die as soon as it is no longer connected to the Mother. Personally, the option of a C-Section was given to me, the hospital staff stated that we could then take pictures with our dead malformed baby and hold her. I'm sorry that is simply sick to me. In my head I don't want to have that in my head as my baby.....the one I had so many hopes and dreams for.

who rote, "In 2006 the data showed that only 1.4% of abortions were at or after 21 weeks. Most of these “late term abortions” do have some type of health related reason."

If there are 1,000,000 abortions a year, then by this figure 14,000 were after 21 weeks. If most of these were for "health related reasons" and I'll give you 95 percent, than that means 700 were for "other" reasons. Now, one innocent life lost is enough for me, but what say you about seven hundred Matt, is this an accurate representation or more false advertising?

who wrote, "It is not about murder and is about religion…One person’s “baby” is another person’s mass of cells that doesn’t mean anything more to them than a skin tag"

Have you ever spoken to an embryologist?

You seem to carry the argument that science and religion are diametrically opposed. This could not be further from the truth in regards to the Catholic Church. She has always sought, and will continue to pursue the truth in all matters.

The "mass of cells" you describe has a heartbeat at a mere six weeks. By the 13th week, the baby has its own set of fingerprints and begins to urinate. Could an intelligent individual continue to assert that this would be akin to a "skin tag"?

It's easy to be self-righteous, judgmental & condescending towards others without knowing them or knowing anything about the difficulties in their lives.

It's really hard to put your money where your big mouth is & do something to help orphaned children, special needs kids or single parents struggling to raise their kids.

Wow, is this ignorance or sheer denial? I'm neither pro-abortion nor anti. But the above statement is egregiously warped and seriously concerning. Where did you get this idea? Who told you this nonsense?

If you actually follow your idea, all babies born via c-sections can be declared non-persons and therefore ok to kill them. Now if you say once the "person" is out, whatever the method, he has a right to life, then a 5month old fetus is also a person.

Is this because our nation has such a poor education filled with cultural garbage that we have people like this in this nation? Please get some basic philosophy books and learn to reason logically and critically on your own.

This is sad. If abortions are performed with Julia's idea, I strongly oppose any and all forms of abortions because it's based on such a stupidest idea.

So basically, my point is this: do your homework before opening your mouth!

For Lynda's anencephaly case, where the baby did not have a brain or skull, she makes clear at the end of the letter, meeting the woman who did bear her child to term, that both options are painful. Let the woman choose the option that will make her as whole as anyone who has lost their baby can ever be.

Didn't Hitler start killing the disabled people first. So disabled people are worthless?

I do not condone the killing of abortionist. My father-in-law used to
be one, until his conscience got the best of him.

sorry, it's late at night and I can't find spell check. Thank you for listening.

These are facts….When you lose the big battle, you attack where you can get a win, and try to expand your influence from there. While I respect everyobodies right to an opinion, I don’t respect people using false info to try to turn people to there views.

I have 6 young children. Each one of them have molded and changed my life for the best. I can not imagine not having one of them around. If they were sick and I would give my life for theirs in a second. Abortion is murder no matter how you look at it. Give these unborn children a chance. The technology we have today is amazing. Just look what your $200.00 cell phone can do. Now think of what the millions of dollars of equipment in a hospital can do. If the child dies after birth, at least you tried to save the child. You never gave up on him/her. In 20 years people are going to look at abortion the way people look at what Hitler did. God have mercy on us."

Ok...one of my many points. JUST because technology is there to keep something alive, SHOULD it be kept alive?? Natural selection people, natural selection. 20 years ago, my grandpa was kept alive with someone else's heart and over 40 medications. In the process of this, he went into a depression and eventually quit his meds because although alive, he was unable to actually live and do the things that made him happy. There are people all over the place that are alive in some form...but are simply surviving. Take a look at one of those 6 kids you have, and watch them run and play....and then imagine them unable to do the things they do that make them them. Or rather don't, because I bet that thought would be too painful. Just because scientists create a nuclear bomb doesn't mean we should ever use it....I think it goes the same for a lot of other "new technologies" and modern medicine. And a woman gave birth to those 6 kids, not you...it was her choice to have them, and it should be her choice not to. It's very easy to say "I would give my life for them", but until you are in that situation, you have no idea how you would react.
