There was a very touching piece done by a Catholic program about an Evangelical couple who had chosen not to abort their severely disabled son. He was born with a large part of his brain missing, but they decided to keep him, and enjoy as much time with him as they could.

The YouTube comments were absolutely startling, at least to me. Everything from urging the parents to euthanize him, wondering out loud what kind of awful parents would refuse to abort a disabled kid. I didn't get it. Our society has really become this bad? Life is worth living but only if it's conventionally pretty?

Nobody cares that they're disabled.

Everyone cares that they get state money for keeping disabled.
