Thought I would add this as a separate topic to the "pro choice/life" discussion in case anyone else has experienced the same...
My (now) 2 yr old was born dead. He was on ECMO (heart lung bypass) for 10 days and wasn't getting better. We were told that he would most likely die and, best case scenario, would have severe to moderate cerebral palsy - meaning a life in a wheel chair. At the time, I said, "look for organ recipients" and lets end it. My wife is a catholic and wouldn't let me do that. He's now 2 and running around like a maniac with no issues.
My point in this rant - be careful of your choices. I'm very pro-choice, but sometimes our beliefs get in the way and we make choices because it's what we "believe" vs reality. Be cautious of things like right to die and do not resuscitate. Don't end up on the wrong side of that choice. Atheists can be as wrong in their beliefs as religious people.
