[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]"Well you know, I gave an honest reply as well. We all get to express our opinions, and mine is certainly as valid as yours. The great thing about this forum is that we get to admit those things which we have the decency to refrain from saying to someone face-to-face."

No.  This is not how the Internet actually works -- believe it or not, different forums have different cultures.  It's not actually ok to say whatever you want to say on all forums.  DC Urbanmoms is lightly moderated, so it's hard to really instill the culture I would like to see here, but I do believe that when it comes to the threads on prenatal screening the standard we have here is to lay off the self-righteousness (or get flamed, as you properly were here).  The OP didn't want your opinion on termination; [b]the OP wanted to discuss the ambiguities of her situation.[/b]  You're not welcome here.  [/quote]

Oh, I see, the actual question of whether or not to terminate a (potentially) handicapped child doesn't have anything to do with the OPs concerns.  What a dummy I am, I guess I really read into her post something that simply wasn't there.

Listen, if OP wants to do what that other woman did a few weeks back, and ask Jeff to remove my posts, then fair enough.  But no one else gets to judge who is "not welcome" here.  But honestly, mine is just one more opinion in the sea of many.  YOU are the one turning this into a debate, and taking everyone off the topic at hand.[/quote]

This is 22:39.  You do have a right to your opinion.  It doesn't bother me, I am comfortable with my decision and receiving judgment from a stranger on an anonymous post does not bother me.  You do not, however, have a right to say you walked in my shoes.  You have not.  You have no idea of my life situation, what I was going though at the time of my decision, what I have witnessed in my lifetime, what other medical issues I am dealing with, etc.  I understand that these things don't make a difference to you, you will judge me regardless.  But do not say that you were ever in my shoes.

OP, I hope this dialogue does not stress you even further.  You need to do what you think is the best decision for you and your family.  Despite your AMA, the odds are very likely that your screening will give you good results, so I suggest you try not to stress until you have further information.[/quote]
