Hell yes! It makes legal to rape her everyday!

Seriously: No. I never rape someone. I believe the ways of love.

I would like to point out that I don't rape people either, just in case anybody was thinking to themselves "I bet that dude rapes people".

Risking opening a can of worms on this one:

Dilemma #6

You and your spouse have tried for years to get pregnant.  Finally the good news comes - you are expecting your first child.  Unfortunately, very early on your doctor tells you that your baby has a very high probability of having Downs Syndrome.  He tells you that it's not too late to have an abortion.

What do you do?

A Dozen Things I Wish My Doctor Had Told Me When I Learned My Child Had Down Syndrome
Written by Parents of New Directions

   1.  I wish my doctor had said, "Your child has Down syndrome; she is not a 'Down's baby' or 'one of those kids.' Your child will have his/her own unique personality, strengths, and needs. Down syndrome is only a small part of who he/she is. Doctors can help parents realize their child is a baby first.

   2. I wish my doctor had told me that my child had Down syndrome when my spouse was present. The only thing harder than finding out your child has Down syndrome is having to tell your spouse.

   3. I wish my doctor had told me that the genetic information my child had inherited was not defective, not abnormal – just a little more than "typical" kids. The chromosome information needs to be explained in a way that helps the family realize that the child will inherit and share the physical characteristics of his/her family, as well as some characteristics associated with Down syndrome.

   4. I wish my doctor had told me all the things people with Down syndrome can accomplish, rather than all the things that may be delayed. Parents have a lifetime to find out their child's ability. It is not necessary to tell them every possible limitation – especially when limitations aren't even known -- when the child is only a few days old.

   5. I wish my doctor had told me not to read anything about Down syndrome more than 10 years old. The reality for people with Down syndrome is not the same as it was even 10 years ago. Early intervention, inclusion, medical advances, and today's opportunities really do make a difference for people with Down syndrome.

   6. I wish my doctor had told us, as parents, that we could do this, and that we wouldn't have to do it on our own. Therapists, teachers, social workers, and medical professionals are available to help. Doctors can help parents find the assistance available in their area.

   7. I wish my doctor had told us that we would grow, stretch, become better people – more kind, more tolerant, fighters for justice, stronger, braver, deeper in our faith – all as gradual changes through the ups and downs of raising a child with a disability.

   8. I wish my doctor had told me that the little bundle I was holding would bring me lower lows but higher highs than I had ever experienced.

   9. I wish my doctor had reminded me on a regular basis not to focus only on developmental milestones, stimulation, therapies, and making every moment a teaching moment. Parents need to take time to just enjoy their child.

   10. I wish my doctor had told me that parenting itself is very difficult. Kids can be a challenge to raise. Every struggle is not because of Down syndrome, but rather a natural part of the parenting experience.

   11. I wish my doctor had told us that we weren't alone. There are other parents that have been through the same experience and who are willing to help other parents adjust to the birth and parenting of a child with Down syndrome.

   12. I wish my doctor had referred me to a group like New Directions Down Syndrome Association.
