" Can you imagine a mainstream Canadian magazine publishing a similar article, concerning a mother making the same choice regarding her child with Down Syndrome--only that child was two years old? Would it simply be a "harrowing choice” that she made and has to live with? I think not (I hope not). Instead of just feeling sorry for this woman, we would expect this woman to face serious consequences for killing her child, no matter what the reason was or how little support she had from her family. How is it possible for a whole country to have such an irrational disconnect between a child who isn’t yet born and a child who has exited the uterus?"
