I have all the compassion for him and that poor child and the suffering they are all going through...but I have a nagging question in my mind

Did they do prenatal testing and KNOW they were going to have a child with this horrible affliction? Did they refuse aborting because of religion? Did he choose to run for Pres even knowing this child had limited time on the planet? Did they consider the torture this little soul is going thru as a result of this life?

I'm sorry for their pain, and the pain of that poor child, but it seems like some priorities are out of whack...
