Excerpt:
She was not sure she could find joy in raising her son to such a
future. She didn't think she could cope with what she expected would
be a lifetime of sadness and struggle.
Giving her son up for adoption seemed even worse -- to wake each
morning not knowing where he was, imagining him scared and alone. "I
could not live with that fear all my life," Plazio said.
"I don't want anyone to think that I did this all for Matthew," she
said. "I was not just sparing him problems. I was sparing my daughter,
my husband, me and all those who depend on me
In March 2001, a week into her third trimester, she and her husband
flew to Tiller's clinic. They took the bunny blanket and a teddy bear
with a big red heart on its chest -- a gift to the baby from their
daughter, then 11.

The article is very sympathetic towards the woman (whose maiden name
is Plazio and whose married name is compassionately left untold)
towards Tiller, and towards abortion in general, so there is little
reason to doubt the story. I am sure lots of people reading this feel
the same way, but the following is undeniable: the oft-repeated crap
that "viable fetuses are never aborted" or that third trimester
abortions are done only when the woman's life is at risk or the baby
(well, the article calls it that!) has some lethal deformity just does
not hold water.

And? Caring for children with Down's Syndrome can strain family
resources to the breaking point - mental and emotional as well as
financial. As Malapert used to say, that's because "Life - no matter
how horrible" is the watchword for anti-choicers.

Tellingly, PiNhead leaves out the first sentence in the paragraph
quoted above. Here's the whole thing:
"Plazio had studied special education in college; working
with adults with Down syndrome, she had seen their lives
as lonely, frustrating, full of hurt. She was not sure she
could find joy in raising her son to such a future. She
didn't think she could cope with what she expected

Shorter PiNhead: "Life - no matter how horrible".
Plazio asked to use her middle and maiden names to protect her
privacy. Many of Tiller's patients have not told their co-workers,
friends or even close relatives that they had terminated pregnancies.
Their abortions were verified by a review of clinic records they
supplied.
For Plazio, the heartache began with the unexpected. After a decade of
infertility, she was stunned to feel a kick to her ribs as she sat
through a meeting in February 2001. She had been dieting for weeks,
running five miles a day -- and wondering why she still couldn't
squeeze into her pants. She was six months pregnant.
Overjoyed, Plazio and her husband scheduled an amniocentesis. The
preliminary results were clean; bursting with excitement, Plazio, then
43, bought a baby blanket dotted with pale blue bunnies. Ten days
later, her doctor called with devastating news: More complete genetic
tests had determined that their son had Down syndrome.
Plazio had studied special education in college; working with adults
with Down syndrome, she had seen their lives as lonely, frustrating,
full of hurt. She was not sure she could find joy in raising her son

I find it very sad that Plazio apparently did not speak to the parents
of Down Syndrome children, many of whom would have told her that they
are full of love and a joy for them to raise despite all the extra
effort and special attention these children require. There are
support groups for people with Down Syndrome children, and I have seen
a very well written magazine published about the children and those
who care for them.
As for adults, well, the third child of Mary Ellen Rudin, has Down
Syndrome, and I got acquainted with him in 1974, when he was about 16
years old and it was a pleasure to converse with him despite his
somewhat limited vocabulary. Mary Ellen is the top researcher in my
field, set-theoretic topology, and an article about her in a leading
expository journal about two decades ago mentioned Mary Ellen saying
that her Down Syndrome son was gainfully employed. She said half-
seriously that while her other three children have performed to the
full extent of their abilities, this son performed beyond his
abilities.
One other thing Plazio may not have realized: there are long waiting
lists for women who very much want to adopt babies with Down
Syndrome. I think a competent adoption agency could have laid her
worries to rest about how he would have been treated by his adopotive
parents.
Peter Nyikos
Here is a diary from Daily Kos where the author sharply criticizes
Sarah Palin for her ignorant glossing over the very real difficulties
of raising a Down's Syndrome child. Once you're past the poltical
polemics, you'll find a story that is heartwarming at first, but turns
heartbreaking by the end:
OK, fauxNy, again you lie. The fetus wasn't healthy, not by
definition.
> I find it very sad that Plazio apparently did not speak to the parents

But not all. There are lots of parents of Down's Syndrome children
who have a terrible time, get divorced., and end up dumping the
child.

Which demonstrates that these children aren't by any definition
healty.

Which shows that it's very difficult to care for children who are not
healthy.

Yes, in subsidized jobs in protected environments; it costs more to
provide a job and support for such adults than can be afforded for
all.

Well, bully for her. Plenty of perfectly normal children are
abandoned by parents, and by society. Just look at the homeless in
any city, they are dumped by a society that doesn't want to care for
all its members.

That is a lie. There are no long waiting lists for children with
Down's Syndrome. Hell, even normal children end up dumped in foster
care gulags.

prove it. And there aren't adoption agencies out there, there are
state funded foster care and private adoption lawyers.
Stop lying, Oopsey. You still haven't demonstrated that healthy women
abort healthy fetuses. And FYI not all Down's Syndrome children are
as high functioning as the single case you mentioned. And you can bet
that the mother of that child had plenty of paid assistance to do the
actual work.

Say what? Do you really believe you can palm off such a wild-ass
claim without being called on it?

Have you ever seen statistics on how much more abuse adoptive children
experience than biological children? What are they putting in the
water there in in Columbia, SC?
I'm against abortion when it's done out of convenience because the
mother feels she's not in the mood to raise a child (when the child is
normal).
If you want proof I'm on the far right, read my blog:
http://immigration-globalization.blogspot.com/
Obviously, they couldn't start until they got wind of it, and it's a
pretty safe bet that they didn't get wind of it until after May 31,
2005. Despite what a fanatical ally of yours said, Tiller was never
under close scrutiny in any meaningful sense of the word. As for 2005
and thereafter...
It wasn't for want of trying, but Tiller and his lawyers kept up one
legal challenge after another until Phil Kline was defeated and the
guy who defeated him, Morrison, charged Tiller with a bunch of much
less serious breaches of the law. You can read a long article on the

Or not. See the case of Mary Ellen Rudin, who together with her
husband is a Professor Emeritus of the University of Wisconsin. I
wrote about her in the first post to the thread. Mary Ellen, as we
set-theoretic topologists all call her at topology conferences [ where
everyone knows who we are talking about if we don't give a last name]
certainly didn't think she was ruining the life of her two older
chidren when she decided to keep her third, her first son, a Down [not
Downs, twit--I've altered the thread title to reflect this and much
more] syndrome child.
She went on to have a fourth son, despite the old factoid that the
older you are, the more likely Down Syndrome is for your next child.
He is extremely intelligent and successful.
Another set-theoretic topologist and a close friend of mine has a
daughter, their only child, who has one son, who has Down Syndrome.
She and her husband are happy parents. If anyone reading this is
sincerely and compassionately interested, I can ask my friend whether
he would be willing to let me share more details about them.
> As Malapert used to say, that's because "Life - no matter

...which I am not, because I would like for it to be legal -- and I've
said this in direct follow-up to you, Lyman clone -- to abort AT ANY
stage in the pregnancy a child who is so horribly deformed or
pathological that to let it live is to consign it to a fate worse
than death.
But only an ignorant bigot would say that an otherwise healthy Down
Syndrome child falls into that category.
I take it you think Tiller did Christin, a healthy 19-year old with
Down Syndrome, a huge favor when he botched the abortion of her baby
and she (and her baby) died as a result:
http://www.justiceforchristin.com/
What you just said, as well as the bigoted and ignorant Subject: line
you used, (Only a PiNhead would characterize a Downs Syndrome child as
"healthy") certainly makes it seem that way.

Quoted in my second post, which I did before I saw yours, bigot. And
I quoted several more as well, and I had plenty to say about Plazio's
sadly misguided attitude.

I said babies, not children, you bait-and-switch artist. We've been
through this before.
I suspect that is what your staunch ally Spartakus had in mind, too,
when he did his Lyman-clone song-and-dance in response to the same
thing. You pro-abortion (at least for Down Syndrome babies) fanatics
just love to talk about children in foster care, who have been
"wounded" by their parents and would pose a far greater challenge to
adoptive parents than a Down Syndrome child a few months old.
Hell, even another victim of Tiller was deeply missed by her adoptive
family when she died at the age of five, and she was a lot more of a
challenge than all but the unhealthiest Down Syndrome babies:

Who have enough funds to pay for care. Are you saying that Mary Ellen
just locked up the kids when she went to work? Or did she have PAID
ASSISTANTS to do the work? And I was unaware that the position of
ProfEme was a tag team deal ... or are both ProfEmes?

I'd prefer to hear that from them, and know just how much actual time
the family spent together.

So what? So that woman got to make her own choices and they worked
out for her? Wonderful! but that is not the case in all cases,
perfesser. And since you have no way of really knowing this woman,
your story has no verfiability. Most folks put on a stiff upper lip
in public and don't air their troubles a la Jon and Kate Plus Eight,
you know.

Down Syndrome children are not healthy, otherwise or otherwise. With
about half of them with serious heart defects and a whole spectrum of
severity of disorders, THEY ARE NOT BY ANY DEFINITION HEALTHY
...because the result is amniocentesis followed by abortion. There
are far fewer Down Syndrome babies born since these search-and-destroy
missions began in earnest.
And the March of Dimes is in the doghouse with pro-life organizations
for promoting the "search" part.

Romania is backward in a lot of respects, including the defying of one

them to put an end to their ban on international adoptions. I know a
couple who was strung out for over three years, hoping they could
adopt a Romanian orphan, always hoping the next turn of events would
be the last--and then the last turn of events was a flat out NO.

If it's a choice between that and being aborted over a week into the
third trimester, it's not contest where I am concerned.
How about you? would you prefer to be slowly dismembered alive,
without the benefit of anesthesia, in a D&E abortion? or would you
prefer to run the risk of a digoxin-induction abortion by a Tiller
type abortionist, and being one of the unlucky few who survived it?
See the following case:
Peter,
This bitch is crazy. I've suspected it for a long time, but now the
evidence is just so overwelming.
I just ignore her completely now and it drives her absolutely crazy.
This bitch is so warped and hung up on me that she has created this
fantasy that you are supposed to be me. That's how damn warped this
chick is in the head. She is so crazy about me and misses my replies
to her so much that she has tried to make you into me. Now, that's
crazy. She can't tell the truth from fiction any longer.
The other day I saw through someone elses post, she started
complaining about how she needs to catch up to the 21st century and
she was leaving the newsgroup. It was all an act. She was looking for
responses and someone to ask her to stay. When she didn't get that,
she slowly crept her way back into this newsgroup.
Seriously Peter, this bitch is insane. She has been warned to stop
stalking me from officials in my state. She isn't allowed to have any
contact with myself, family, or anyone I work with. She knows if she
shows her crooked nose, 60's reject looking wicked witch of the west
face in my area she would regret ever minute of it. It would be the
sorriest day of her loser life. If she made it out in a vertical
position she would be lucky. Her posts are monitored though, I will
not say by whom. But she is known for radical moves and she has had
many problems in the past with law enforcement. All she is left with
is just her rants in this newsgroup and that's as far as she can go
and will ever go.
You're dealing with a lunatic Peter, she is absolutley mentally
insane.
Hey, maybe one day if you ignore her she will try to say someone else
is you.
She can't function unless she is bitching at someone. She needs some
strong meds.

fauxNy, if the woman is anesthetized, so is the fetus. And that is
done in the second tri, because of the fact that the cervix is not
dilated and thus the fetus can't be removed intact. Damn hell, you
claim to be a mathematician, why don't you confine your statements to
math and not medicine?

What Sarah Palin Didn't (and probably couldn't) Tell that Crowd in
Indiana (updated 2X with thanks)
by CPT Doom
Sat Apr 18, 2009 at 12:24:47 PM PDT
Like most of you, I have repeatedly seen video and news coverage of
Sarah Palin's speech to the Vanderburgh County Right to Life dinner
last week. And, again like most of you, I have been appalled to watch
her sanctimoniously christen herself the high priestess of "family
values" because she decided not to abort her fifth child, Trig, who
has Down's Syndrome. During the snippets of her speech that I have
been able to stomach watching, Palin talked about how she prayed after
learning Trig would have Down's and how the love in her heart just
exploded after his birth, and she knew she made the right choice. The
implication of her speech, of course, is that if those godless
liberals just had a little love - and followed Palin's version/
perversion of Christianity - we'd all stop cavalierly killing our
babies.
Well, at the risk of ticking off every parent of a special needs
child, I'm going to call "bullsh*t" on that one. Trig's just a year
old, and the Palins haven't yet begun to learn the challenges of
raising a child with Trig's difficulties. As someone whose extended
family has faced those challenges, I know of the ramifications - the
effects, both positive and negative - of the choice Governor Palin has
made.
CPT Doom's diary :: ::
I'm not saying she made the right choice or the wrong choice, but her
speech, in fact her entire attitude since Trig's birth, ignore the
true complexities and complications of her decision. Social
conservatives like Palin like to claim that it just takes love, or
God, or both to do the "right thing" in situations like this, but
those of us who are grown-ups know that there is far more to it.
Like the Palins, my grandparents were in their mid-40s when their
fifth and final child, my Uncle Ab, was born; he too had Down's.
Because it was 1947, Gram and Gramps were told they should consign Ab
to a state institution and forget he'd ever been born; Gram simply
could not do that. Unlike Governor Palin, Gram had no option of
abortion, but she did have the option to raise her son or not, and she
simply could not fathom forgetting his existence.
It was very rare for families to keep special needs children at home
in those days, and there were pitifully few resources to help families
like my mother's. When I have related my grandparents' decision to
people nowadays, they seem to think Gram and Gramps were some kind of
minor saints for what they did. It is true that rather than being
abandoned in a state facility, Ab lived most of his 22 years
surrounded by a loving family who strived to give him as full a life
as possible, but that is only part of the story. The rest is the story
of a family nearly torn apart by the difficulties of raising a child
who would mentally stall around the age of 2.
I was just a baby myself when Ab died, so I have no memories of him,
but I grew up hearing about him and how the family coped. Ma used to
say that in situations like this you either laugh or cry, and her
family chose to laugh, so what we mainly heard growing up were what we
called the "Ab stories" - the wacky adventures and antics of living
with a perpetual toddler.
As children my sister and I, along with our younger cousins, would ask
to hear the Ab stories again and again, particularly when Ma, a
masterful storyteller, was the one doing the talking. We would laugh
'til we cried about the time Uncle Bob inadvertantly taught Ab to
drive, and he managed to understand the intricacies of an old-
fashioned three-speed, column-mounted manual transmission enough to
take off on Gramps one day when he left Ab in the car. The image of my
then 62-year-old Gramps running after the car (Ab never did manage to
get it into second, so he didn't get far) and then later bursting into
the house yelling "Who taught that kid to drive!" was simply priceles.
We learned about how my Aunt Eileen taught the then 8-year-old Ab to
crawl on the morning of her college graduation; how Ab took an old
doll carriage and converted it into a carrier for his bat, glove and
baseball and would cruise down to the field at the end of the street
to play with the other kids (who were infinitely kind to the funny-
looking retarded kid);how Ma avoided a couple of speeding tickets when
Ab, full of love like many Down's kids, tried to hug the patrolman;
how Ab would try to order his favorite meal at Friendly restaurant and
completely flummox the waitresses who could not comprehend his speech
(Ma would serenely turn to the waitress and say "I believe the young
gentleman would like...").
As we matured, though, we also understood the darker side of those
stories, the stresses that raising Ab put on my grandparents and the
other 4 kids. We learned about the endless cycle of medical crises,
the late-night rides to the hospital, and the number of times Ab was
thought to be dying, only to rally. We learned about how Gramps,
already stressed from supporting a family on a mailman's salary (about
$80 every 2 weeks in the mid-50s) and dealing with another sick child
- my mother - "crawled into the bottle and pulled the cork in after,"
as my uncle would say. We were appalled to hear about how it would
take 8 or 9 full-grown adults, mainly family members, to hold Ab down
during painful medical procedures, and how he would lash out at them,
feeling understandably betrayed.
The funny Ab stories stop around 1967, although Ab lived another 2
years. That's when Gramps died, leaving Ab a lot less loving and
happy. His limited mind simply could not comprehend death - if Daddy's
car is in the driveway, where was he? His tantrums became worse and
more violent, and he would leave Gram, already coping with the heart
disease that would kill her, bruised and bloody. Ma and her siblings
faced the horrible choice of what to do with Ab - in the words of
Gram's doctor "it's your mother or your brother; you have to choose."
For a few months Ma and her siblings, all of whom had growing families
and jobs to handle, tried keeping Ab each for a few weeks (none of
them could afford to keep him full-time), but that just confused him
and caused stress in 4 more families. Had they continued, Ma would
say, there would have been 4 divorces.
So in 1969 the siblings made the horrible choice, and
institutionalized Ab. As part of the deal they were not allowed to see
him for 2 months, to let him "acclimate." He died within 6 weeks. The
official cause was pneumonia, but Ma always said it was really a
broken heart. One year after his death came the worst blow, a
newspaper expose that detailed the rampant abuse of residents of the
facility Ab was sent to. The resulting guilt and shame caused a wedge
among the siblings that has never really healed. I often wonder how
much of my Uncle Jack's alcoholism was due to genetics, and how much
was due to guilt about Ab; he was reportedly inconsolable at Ab's
funeral and began drinking more heavily soon after.
I understand that modern medical technology and social support systems
mean that the Palins will not face the same stresses as my
grandparents. I also understand that having a Down's child can be a
wonderfully fulfilling experience; Down's kids seem to be almost
perfectly innocent - the very best of humanity with little of the
worst.
But even with support, even with good medical care, which will only
ensure that Trig outlives his parents, the Palins are only beginning
the difficult journey of raising a Down's child. And that journey is
not one that Todd and Sarah Palin will take alone - all 4 of their
other children will also be there. Already their oldest two children,
who like my aunt and uncle were teenagers when their Down's brother
was born, have less education and fewer skills than my working-class
relatives; will they have the capability of caring for their brother
when their parents are gone, or too old? I really hope that Trig lives
his life in a loving and supportive family environment, but it is just
as likely that his family will suffer damage from the challenges of
raising him.
Social conservatives love to point to the 90% abortion rates of those
who learn they have a Down's child as evidence of moral decay, but I
simply can't see it that way. Whatever the reason, abortion is rarely
a decision made quickly or easily. When faced with the overwhelming
emotional, psychological and financial stresses that special needs
children bring to their entire families, can we really be shocked that
so many choose to abort? We may dislike their decisions, but I don't
believe we can consider them either cavalier or capricious.
The core of the abortion debate is a classic moral dilemna, one that
by definition has no "right" answer. Every decision about pregnancy
and abortion means balancing the human rights of the pregnant woman
and the developing human rights of the fetus - a balance the Supreme
Court clumisly tried to resolve in Roe v. Wade. It cannot be solved
with the simple arguments and political slogans of the social
conservatives, no matter how folksy the speaker.
Update: Here is the obligatory "Holy Cow" I'm on the rec list update!
I posted this and then went to run errands, never thinking anyone
would read it.
I have been thinking about writing this for a couple of days and the
words just came this morning. I never thought it would get such a
wonderful response. So many issues that the religious right believe
they have settled are actually just as complex - my uncle's case is
just one example. One of the things I truly appreciate about Daily Kos
is the thoughtful and intelligent (for the most part) discussions we
can have about a variety of issues. I can only imagine the Freeper
response to such a diary.
Update 2: I've addressed this in the comments, but want to make two
things clear. One is that I am not into eugenics; I don't believe that
any fetus that is not "normal" should be aborted. The second is that I
am not arguing that every family who faces a challenge like my
mother's family did will end up estranged, alcoholic or with broken
marriages. There are many families who have thrived when dealing with
a kid with special needs, including one who lived across the street
from my family when I was young.
My point with this diary is to demonstrate, through one example, that
the answers are not a simple as Sarah Palin and her ilk claim.
Progressives aren't pro-choice because we advocate killing babies or
because we lack love or faith in God (and even those of us who are
atheists still have a much higher faith in the inherent goodness of
humanity than the typical conservative). Rather, we are pro-choice
because we understand that every family, every woman, who faces the
question of abortion, for whatever reason, faces it with a specific
set of circumstances that no one but the individual can know and
assess. To even claim that we can, through legislation, make global
decisions about which of those circumstances should allow for a choice
of abortion and which cannot is so simplistic as to be laughable, if
it weren't such a serious issue.

Better get Google to take this one down immediately, Oopsey, because

Poor Oopsey, he seems to feel that even though he's been busted more

PiNhead from the 1990s, and note how similar in content and style

You've been in a lot of trouble, in fact you were regarded as anti-

jobs due to your rebel behavior?
I know more than you want me to know.
Go ahead, prove you were never arrested.

Right, and just did make a bizarre response to me? I am so amazed at

really hates Oopsey impersonating him online to discredit him! I

Well, didn't his first wife dump him? And took one away with her, you

what he posts in here, and his stories do change. But his methods and
even the very insults he uses remain consistent. I've seen bots with

That's just it, no real LEO would dare make such statements about
*anyone* in any sort of a public forum. You do that in my state and
you lose your badge! Conduct Unbecoming and all that.
> > She has been warned to stop stalking me from officials in my state.
I'd like to see some proof of that ... since I never stalked him, and
only took him up on his dare to report him to the DoC. Stalking?
He's the one who demanded that I, as well as other females over the
years from this ng, come to visit him so he could "prove" his
assertions about his identity, job, etc. And wasn't he the one who
used DoC resources to do an investigation on Patrick? If I've been
told to stop stalking him, I'd sure like to see some proof ... got no
emails, no phone calls since the incident a while back, which was well
documented in here, even though Oopsey did have to have Google take
down most of his posts.
What officials? Really, this does take the cake ... but he's being
monitored, I'm sure, and as I told the last person at the DoC I spoke
to, my concern was that he was bringing down a lot of disrespect upon
the department by constantly referring to them. They don't need the
bad publicity, and I felt it was my duty to just tell them what he
was doing in here. He's their responsibility, I don't care, because
it's not my state. If the taxpayers of Delaware want to fund his
lifestyle, fine.

Well, no one from any agency in the state of Delaware has been in
contact with me for some time now. And I never was warned to stop
stalking Oopsey, because I never stalked him! Responding to his
bullshit in the ng isn't stalking.
> > She isn't allowed to have any contact with myself, family, or anyone
> > I work with.
Except that I have never tried to contact you, your family, or anyone
Oopsey works with. I merely took him up on his dare to contact the
DoC if I didn't like what he was saying. I did, he got busted, he got
booted from the computers, and he's so obsessed with me that he's now
publicly libeling me ... but since he's known as the most corrupt,
forging liar in the ng, it's not like anyone would take his rantings
as anything but more of his usual lies.
I guess bringing up the old taunt another poster called him, COMBOVER
FATASS LIAR, just pushed him right over the edge .... I sure hope he
was posting drunk, because that would excuse the absolute lunacy he's
now displaying. Like watching a trainwreck.

Yes, and considering how many times he's demanded I go to Delaware to
meet him, and if I don't, that meant that I was afraid of him and was
lying . .. well . .. . it's not the first time he's attacked women in

OK, present what you know and where you obtained it. Did you misuse
DoC computers again? Pay for a background investigation, like you did
Patrick?
And I make no secret of the fact I am a medical marijuana patient.

Nope, it's not up to me. I'm playing by your rules, the rules YOU made

Remember?
You've accused me of many things that are untrue. When you were asked
to prove them, you told me to prove you were wrong.
So.....
You have to prove I am wrong.
It's your game, these are your rules. If you don't like the rules,
don't play the game.
You can stop lying about me and my Department for starters and just
jump off of the nearest cliff. No one is going to miss you.

Kansans for Life? No thank you. But thanks for pointing out that
even after Kline left office, Tiller continued to be hounded by
trumped-up charges. This supports my point that Kansas *was* a
hostile poltical/legal environment for Tiller, and that he had to do
everything by the book, with "i"s dotted and "t"s crossed.

Do you even know what a "factoid" is? Here, I'll eliminate the
suspense and tell you - a "factoid" is a piece of information that
appears to be a true fact, but isn't. The term "factoid" is the new
"old wives' tale".
And guess what? It is a *fact* (not a factoid) that the risk of Down
['][s] Syndrome ramps up as the woman ages. And guess what else? The
risk of birth defects of all kinds ramps up as the *father* ages.

Nope, I am playing her game. She has accused me from being
"restricted" to being on "probation" to being "fired" and not ONCE
proven her claims. When asked she always reverts back and says it's up

Moron,
Look at Peters posting host.
Look at mine.
We are hundreds of miles apart you idiot.
Obviouisly you don't know as much as you like to pretend.
So, do you swallow her claim and think I'm the same person as pnyikos?
Let the dancing begin.
Forged posts, bucko. That's ancient history now, and you
were caught.
Do you really think there's a way to tell where Comcast is

Really?
Ever heard of VNC, by the way? Seriously, this is really
trivial. If I wanted, I could appear to be posting from
Kuala Lumpur.
Moron, if you have evidence provide it.
You've lied since day one, you're lying again, and you will lie
tomorrow.
I noticed you ducked my questions, thus proving that you can't support
your claim with evidence.
So you're saying I'm the same person as pnyikos, is that correct?

Wow, is that the latest attempt at derailing away from your
own behaviour?
Is that the best you can do? It's pretty poor. But it is
good to see that it's as easy as ever to get you all wound
up in your own failures.
I know for a fact it was already pointed out to you, more
than once. This repeated demand for evidence already
presented is just another facet of that pathology of yours;
the one that sublimates inability to admit deeds with
regression to demands already met.
I've decided to simply ignore demands that you and I know
were already satisfied. You know you forged posts and lied
about it later - man up and stop being such a baby.
So, you're upset because she used your tactics upon you? Thanks for
confirming your stupidity and dishonesty, Blobby.
So you don't think that Down's Syndrome is a good reason to abort? What do
you know about caring for a mentally handicapped child? You happen to know
someone who is doing a good job with one? Great. You should try it for
yourself before you tell others what they should endure. Read the following
for the merest inkling of what it's like and then tell me that you'd
volunteer to do it:
http://uk.geocities.com/june...@btopenworld.com/webpages/autism/autism.html
Down's Syndrome is not the same as severe autism, but certain things hold
true for both: you can never hold a meaningful conversation with your child,
although you claim to have done so (would you choose the kind of
conversation you had to be just about the only kind on a daily basis?), they
will never (or extremely rarely) marry and have a family of their own, and
they will need to be cared for in a physical sense their whole lives, never
becoming independent. Not only do they not lead normal lives, neither do
their parents and siblings. I could go on at length, but I'll just say one
more thing: the abortion of a severely disabled or mentally handicapped
foetus paves the way for other children to be born - my husband and I both
wanted to have more children, but it was out of the question ... they're the
ones that I mourn.

No shit, often causing the need for continued, expensive care, like
heart surgery. I have never understood the mentality of people who
would choose to bring a child into the world, knowing that the child
will have a short miserable life. I can't imagine how anyone would do
that, modern medicine may be a great thing, but you can't completely
ignore how it does have its "down side," the more I know about it, and
the older I get, the more terrified I am of being forced to be
subjected to medical intervention, can't even try to imagine what the
terror must be like for someone unable to understand why and what is
going on. Thank god for the xian scientists . .. if I'm ever forced
to deal with a critical emergency, I can convert on the spot. Maybe
some folks don't mind needles in the arm, no ability to wipe their own
ass, being dependant on the kindness of others, but it's just not for
me. I couldn't force anyone I loved to go through that hell.
Plus, you really have to consider the needs of "the village" and since
we are already way overpopulated and can't take care of those here
now, it's just not right to expect the village to pay your tab if you
choose to breed and knowingly bring into existance children who will
never be "normal" and require that much care. Take OctoMom, virtually
all of her bills for procreating will be paid by the taxpayers of
California, and her children are all developmentally disabled.
Those children know they ain't right on some level. I remember a boy
in my grade school, he was some kind of disabled, we didn't have all
the categories back then, the kids used to torment that boy so
bad . .. I always felt terrible and didn't have the guts to tell
those assholes to shut the fuck up. Maybe that's where my hatred for
bullies began. I wasn't bullied, and didn't bother bullying, but I
was keenly aware of it.
I followed some of the links posted in here where family members tell
their stories of what hardships they endured, and that's why when
fucking jerkoffs like fauxNy here blithely explain that those
"special" children are no big deal for the families ... well, one
hopes karma strikes quickly.

fauxNy here explains that because most children in foster care were
"damaged" by their breeders they didn't count, because no one wants a
child that requires that much work. Grrr. So, only infants
"deserve" a loving family, and those kids whose breeders were stupid
enough to breed and not immediately give up an adoptable infant (and
let's be clear, I don't think that most of these breeders should be
allowed to take a child home from the hospital. If you can't qualify
as an adoptive parent or a foster parent, why should "society" have to
fund your choice to breed? If you have no way to support yourself,
why on earth should you be subsidized to do so? If we ended welfare
as an entitlement to breeders, there would be no more foster children,
crime would be reduced in a generation. Etc), that child then should
rot in some nasty "group home" until being tossed on the streets at
age 18? Talk about adding insult to injury .. .

Okay. There's only one prime example of you forging messages
from others.
Have a nice day, dingus. I know I will.
Nope, not even close. That's not me moron.
You lied again.
The IP matches in the same thread from a half-hour earlier,
as do all the client headers. It's you.
You're just going to lie about it, but it's really no use.
And the funny part is that Adam told you to go with
something more inventive and that is the best you could do!
Wrong Jethro, that's not me. You're lying and probably forging
yourself.
According to you, just yesterday, IP's are not identifiers.
Remember, when I asked you to look at the IP's from Peter and
myself?
But then again, you lie all of the time, just like when you lied and
claimed I was a felon.
But you don't believe in supporting any of your claims.
No Dingus, it's you. It's good to see you getting desperate
about it, though. A nice amusement to have with my coffee.
Let's see you keep it up, okay? It's like having my very own
retarded monkey to do dances for me.
You like to lie, don't ya?
Why? Are you that much of a loser?
Dance, monkey! This confirmation (not that confirmation from
Dingus the Retarded Dancing Monkey was needed, mind you) is
delicious.
You're obviously not... because even as dumb the fake Peter is, you
still can't emulate it.
This is why you can't imitate the imposter; you're too fucking stupid.

Had there been any sign of severe disability in the Plazio's son, you

article by Stephanie Simon, a master of abortion-rights propaganda:
http://newsbusters.org/blogs/dave-pierre/2007/09/18/yet-another-slanted-abortion-story-lat
The ONLY reason given was distress over the two alternatives, raising
her son or giving him up for adoption:

Many people have made compelling arguments against banning late-term
abortions, and so I'm not going to propose any such thing. However,
neither do I see as justifiable any abortion which deliberately kills
a late term and viable fetus when alternatives exist.
What I would like to see are laws that allow a woman to terminate a
pregnancy at any time, but requires that an attempt be made to save
the life of the fetus when practical and when it does not place the
mother at great additional risk. Granted, this may not always be
possible, but when it is, it should be required.
What punishment? I'd consider a deliberate killing of a fetus to be
manslaughter, with the penalties appropriate to that crime. And yes,
that does mean throwing the would-be mother in jail should she be so
convicted. While putting mothers in jail sounds nasty, I don't think
that women should be treated like children just because they are
pregnant. I expect _equal_ justice under the law.
Of course this is only a sketch and there there are many exceptions
and caveats; should anyone feel like picking nits, please consider the
practicality of the intent first.

Depriving a responsible woman who is desperate for a baby to adopt,
by adopting myself when I have four wonderful daughters, is what would
be really hypocritical.

As usual, you jump to conclusions on the basis of laughably meager
evidence. In the first place, I think every child on this planet
deserves a loving family, but cold realities stand in the way.
Secondly, you are guilty of a dirty debating trick I call the Black
and White Meltdown, seeing no alternative in what I say between much
older children being impossible to adopt ,and being sought after.
It's a difficult thing that few couples are capable of, but just the
other day I saw the following heartwarming exception to the rule--and
note, even this mother had her doubts at one point about being able to
stay the course:
http://catholicexchange.com/2009/01/26/115157/
And don't forget, we are arguing about the disposition of ONE baby,
the son of the woman who had the third trimestrer abortion, and you
are the one who dragged in foster care, as if that were somehow
relevant.

Howdy, "IAAH." I don't think our paths have ever crossed before, so I
assume you don't quite know what to make of the foregoing bizarre
claims of "ellizabeth," but I think you've noticed already on this
thread that Osprey's style and my style are very different, and if
you've read a good sample of my 1992-1997 posts you will see that they
bear a much closer resemblance to my present posts than either sample
does to Osprey's.

What do you mean by IP address? I am familiar with the NNTP Posting
host numbers, but I can't make head or tail of them.
Perhaps you know that ObKY was said by Osprey to be his brother in
law, visiting them and using his computer. Does any of this not ring
true?
I am not familiar with the other two. Where's the evidence that they
are sock puppets of Osprey?
And what about this "Adam M." post to which you've posted a link?
Where's the evidence that it was posted by Osprey?

Maybe for him, but not for me. I haven't seen any of the evidence
other than what I've already told you about in my preceding post.
I'm a little ticked off at both you and Osprey for the fruitless back-
and-forth that no casual reader could be expected to follow. You've
strung each other out through a lengthy chain of posts and I wish one
of you would stop playing with the cards held so close to the chest.
Peter Nyikos

Like I said to IAAH, I'm a little ticked off at both of you for all
the fruitless back and forth. Why don't you explain to us all what
he's driving at with that "Adam M." post-, why he thinks it came from
your machine-or is this the first time you've ever seen him claim that
it is supposed to have come from there?
One thing you CAN do is steer us to a thread where "elizabeth" playied
the "prove you aren't" game to the hilt--and see what the response
from IAAH will be.
Peter Nyikos
Well, talk to Dingus about that - it's his way. This is what
he does when he feels the need to deny his own actions. He
decided once upon a time to try posting as other people,
juvenile shit like "I am a racist."
As for the other, I know for a fact that it's easy to post
from more than one IP address to appear as two people, but
much harder for two to post from one without being found out.
These are the standards that Bobby has set for HIMSELF, and
he is being held to them. Whenever he accuses people of
something, he immediately falls back on saying that the
accused must prove that he is wrong.
So that's the way he has to play it from now on too.

You were off to a good start, IAAH, but now you've started to run
away
from something you said earlier, and now I am more ticked off at you
than I am at Osprey. That could easily change, of course.

Because posting from two different IPs is easy. Claiming
that a post from an IP that was used by him both half an
hour earlier and later than the forged post is NOT his, is
almost certainly a lie. There is not a reasonable
explanation for how that happened except for the simplest -
he posted those forgeries.
That single thread I linked to has at least two posts from
him that he forged under other poster's names.
He will lie about it when confronted.

If true, that means that you're almost certainly NOT Osprey.

Who said you are racist?
According to that posting, that was posted to someone named Adam H.
and I strongly recall you stating over and over, when I first
suspected you were Adam H., that you were not Adam H.
Now you're saying....you are?
Nope, that's Elizabeth's standard and I'm playing it back. If you
don't like those rules, go talk to the one you're trying to buddy up
with right now. Ask her why she doesn't prove her claims true and ask
her when she is asked too, why she insist that the accused prove she
is wrong?
Oh wait...loyalty before honesty, right?
Prove that a post was used by the same person with in a half hour.
Ever hear of public libraries and places like that that have internet
access.
It's EASY for two people, three, or more to post from the same exact
IP within a half hour.

I'm not lying. Speaking of lying, why don't you explain why you falsly
accuse people of being felons and when you are confronted to post
proof you run away.

LOL!!! You aren't really going to go there, are you?
You were the one who claimed that a posting couldn't have come from
you simply because the server was in another country. That statement
of yours truely demonstrates that you haven't a clue about IP
addresses.
BTW, people who actually understand IP addresses call them by their
proper name - people who don't call them things like "ISP hosting
numbers".

My gods, but you're dumb.
No, Dingus. This is what you've been doing for (literally)
years - so don't get whingy when it's turned around on you.
Except that the block you (yes, YOU) posted from was and is
Comcast's residential block. Businesses are on different
subnets.
Awww, you didn't know there's a way to know that, did you?

No, you're lying. Just as always.
You're nervous, it's way too obvious Adam. You slipped up, you are
able to lie at any time.
Adam,
You lied and now you're busted. The only ones who will believe you
are your fellow liars.
You've proven me right in many areas
1) You'll lie
2) You will never ask a fellow left winger or pro-choicer to prove his
or her claims
3) You'll back up a fellow left winger or pro-choicer when he or she
lies
4) You live by the code "loyalty before honesty"
5) You are Adam, and I said that years ago
No, that's not true.

Ah, so now even if you quote someone, it means that YOU

Are you getting stupider? I think you are.
Better prove that claim, Dingus. Just don't bother with that
quote thing, okay?
It really is.

Do explain how that works, then. Looked to me like I wasn't
in that thread at all. And, since I can see where you're
lumbering towards with this, do explain how "Adam H."
managed to post from YOUR IP address.

How is an accusation a lie?
