I think that the argument is that in some bill (don't know the name either)
parents will be allowed to preffer a hearing child over the deaf child to be
kept, while at the same time if the parents will want to keep the deaf baby and
get rid of the hearing one, they will be stopped.

Their argument (not mine) seems to be that in today's world homosexuals also
suffer due to being gay/lesbian.

My take is slightly different, i believe that parent "rights" in today's society
seems to be trumping all other people's freedoms, for example freedoms of their
children (in this case unborn children). To me the whole idea of parents chosing
who "their" children are, what they study, what religion they become, etc is
quite horrific.

Free your mind and seek the truth.
