The essence of the culture of death summed up

Recently, a commenter posted a remark on an older post regarding a disabled baby who had been killed in the womb at 27 weeks gestation.

Did he frame his comments as it's a woman's choice, it's up to her?

Why no. This is what he said:

Listen. This is a defective unit. Humanity is much better off without it. It would be a drain on the system, and who the fuck really cares anyway? It would just be laughed at. It's better off dead.


A human being is a defective unit.

Not a living breathing human being. A unit. How's that for de-humanization?

Humanity is much better off without it. So if a human being requires attention and help from society, that makes him fit to be killed.

It would be a drain on the system Yeah, because the system is way more important than the individual. Gotta keep my share of the pie!

who the fuck really cares anyway? Yeah! I'm not my brother's keeper! Nobody cares about what happens to other human beings! That's babyish!

It would just be laughed at. Because goodness knows there's nothing worse in life than being laughed at. That's the very epitome of agony and suffering (do you get the feeling this person is an adolescent?)

It's better off dead.

Better off dead than dead, disabled and a burden on humanity.

The culture of death in a nutshell.

Did you feel the compassion that commenter had for that baby's suffering?

It's all about a "woman's right to choose" folks. Nothing to see here.

UPDATE:

Rachel has more quotes showing the ignorance of those who think disabled babies don't have a right to life.
