While reading MSNBC news today, I found an article that was discussing the fact that there has been a reduction in prenatal congenital diseases and defects as a result of increased genetic testing and screening. It was a wonderful, inspiring article, but the first thing I thought when I read it was "Oh, no, the religious fanatics are going to label this eugenics or ‘Satan’s work’ and pan the crap out of this article." I took a few minutes to read the comments, and sure enough, I was correct.
For every two conservative fanatics, there was one rational responder to the article. One person said it the best:
"Yes, that is the "Christian" way. For instance, the Catholic Church had rather millions of children be born and starve to a slow death than a woman use birth control or have an abortion. God help her if she tries to protect her and her children from AIDS by using a condom.
Of course, these Right Wing zealots don't care about children. They are in love with fetuses. Once that child is born, it can die of a dreaded disease or starve to death because these "Christians" do not want to give them health insurance or welfare. Once again, sheer evil wears the cloak of Christianity. May God protect us from the righteous. "
Here is a link to the article, and you can read the comments for yourselves.
