Jeremiah G. Dys: All children deserve the right to live
Jeremia G. Dys, President and General Counsel of the Family Policy Council of West Virginia has this commentary in the Herald-Dispatch. It begins:
No one should be allowed to decide whether one innocent life is worth more than another. Not someone as poor as a college student or as powerful as a United States senator.
Jill Stanek, a nurse-turned-blogger, can describe this in real terms. She should know. If you go to her Web site, you can hear her tell of how she held a discarded Down Syndrome baby for 45 minutes as the child lay dying in her arms, the baby’s undeveloped lungs finally succumbing to an intended demise.
But this is as personal for you as it is for Ms. Stanek because West Virginia law permits this passive infanticide.
