Because the physically imperfect are not considered worthy of life.

Our society in general views children as objects of our own making. Once the birth control pill made its appearance 50 years ago and was embraced by all, including the church, the message was clear: I, the mother, will determine when life is created. It was a pretty short walk from there to the abortion statistics we now see. We can do anything we want with objects of our own making.

But the Bible teaches that children are a gift from Him: the Creator of life, the Giver of life and the Sustainer of life.

In North America right now, 92% of Downs Syndrome babies are aborted. Many predict that Downs babies will eventually be non-existent, as prenatal testing grows more advanced and abortions grow more accepted as the norm. Also chilling is that more and more babies are now being aborted for abnormalities such as cleft lip or palate, or club foot. It’s the basis of evolutionary thought: the strong kill the weak.

But in Christ’s kingdom, the strong carry the weak.

Each one of my seven children have been born without any physical abnormalities. But if one or more of them had been, would I not still count them as blessings? Of course I would! What if one of them contract a terrible illness or have an accident that leaves them mentally challenged? While tragic, would that child then cease to be the blessing that he/she once was? A baby born to us physically perfect is no guarantee that he will always be that way. Furthermore, I know that the Lord may be pleased to give me a child with “special” needs anytime He desires. I have an abiding peace about that fact because I realize that the body is not as important as the soul. Our bodies, whether physically capable or not, are only the temporary wrapping paper our souls are housed in.Read full article here: Designer Baby Only, Please

The Word of the Lord says: "Woe to those who call evil good and good evil". Isaiah 5:20

The Lord calls children a blessing and a reward. He calls them good, yet the world calls them evil. I don't want to get into all the things in this world that are evil, that the world calls good!! (that's another post)
