Suffering Children Should Be Smothered

Advice columnists in Britain are known as “agony aunts” (or uncles). Virginia Ironside is one. Her latest bit of advice has drawn outraged reaction from television viewers who caught her comments on the BBC yesterday. She appeared during a segment called, “Can abortion be a kindness?” Here’s the Daily Mail account of her comments:

Miss Ironside said: ‘If a baby’s going to be born severely disabled or totally unwanted, surely an abortion is the act of a loving mother.’
She added: ‘If I were the mother of a suffering child – I mean a deeply suffering child – I would be the first to want to put a pillow over its face… If it was a child I really loved, who was in agony, I think any good mother would.’

Disability rights advocates called her pro-eugenics approach “despicable.” Even the host seemed stunned:

Programme host Susanna Reid appeared visibly shocked by her comments during the live debate, gasping: ‘That’s a pretty horrifying thing to say, that you would put a pillow over a suffering child.’

In the past, Ironside has said she believes doctors should not try to save the lives of “very premature babies.”

How could you be a “loving mother” and at the same time not want your child? The woman has no soul.

It’s the mentality of the progressive agenda,,, just look at the violence against children and others in this video:

Apparently her own mother disagrees because this woman must have been suffering from mental illness for her entire life.

This is why I believe many so called liberals are just profoundly ignorant. They hear the compassion that progressives spin but aren’t smart enough to see through that spin. The liberal progressive elites actually believe that abortion is about not letting the poor reproduce while at the same time branding it as a women’s rights issue. They are truly evil and bereft of character. This born out of an overwhelming sense of insecurity. A liberal goes through life thinking deep down inside they aren’t good enough, so how could anyone else be able to take care of themselves? Like I’ve said before, liberalism is a mental disorder.

You don’t measure compassion by many get a hand handout, you measure it by how many don’t need a handout!

Ironside said aloud what all other eugenics advocates believe. It’s OK though – we’re only talking about the physically and mentally deformed though, not the Jews. Unfortunately these people are unable to make the connection between eugenics and the holocaust.

I think we all need to stop here and deeply think about this. There has to be a point when prolonging life becomes cruel. What if it were you in agony? I find it hard to agree with this woman, but am I being selfish.

I can not begin to fathom how someone could be so cold hearted. I watched a movie recently called “Follow the Stars Home” amazing and far closer to how “any good Mother” would feel.

Being a Mother is not an easy job, it is one of love and patience. Being the Mother of a disabled child is one of the most difficult jobs in the world. We should all remember that life is worth it. Children what ever package they come in are gifts from our Fahter in Heaven. He shares them with us for a short time and we are blessed to be part of the lives He gives us.
