“Silence in the face of evil is itself evil: God will not hold us guiltless. Not to speak is to speak. Not to act is to act.”
― Dietrich Bonhoeffer
The only surprise is that the surrogate mother would not abort.
“Mrs Pattharamon, who is married, said she became pregnant via IVF and four months later learnt that one of her children had Down’s syndrome. Doctors told the Australian parents of the baby’s condition, and they then said they wanted her to have an abortion. ”
Asked when a baby gets “human rights”, Obama replied,” …whether you’re looking at it from a theological perspective or a scientific perspective, answering that question with specificity … is above my pay grade.”

Strangely, Obama did not believe infanticide was “above my pay grade.” “And yet, Obama’s votes, three times over the course of three years, indicate that he believes that fetuses who have been born alive, but have not yet reached the age of viability, are not human persons worthy of protection by our laws. Such a position on abortion is, to say the least, extreme, and deserves attention.” (Patrick Brennan, NRO) Sadly, Planned Parenthood wants to make that view acceptable, using the quaint term “After Birth Abortion”. Abortion is an evil that destroys human conscience and parental love.
Mrs Pattharamon deserves credit for doing the right thing. Undoubtedly, the biological parents will think of their abandoned son often. His twin sister will be a constant reminder of what they have done.
