The beliefs of Prolife Alliance's members should not be placed higher than the parents' decision or the doctor's professional opinion. Instead of focusing on saving the stronger twin's life, Quintavalle is sacrificing that life by filing an appeal to adopt the weaker twin, who doctors say most likely will not survive the surgery. The parents are faced with accepting the fact one of their babies is probably going to die. This situation is painful enough without having to deal with people questioning their decisions. Dealing with death is a part of life, and pro-life organizations fail to recognize that.
Death is part of life.
Quintavalle's action is an example of how pro-life organizations do not respect individuals' decisions, the majority being women, having to deal with the difficulties of death. Especially in the United States, pro-life organizations place a higher value on potential life over women. Every time a man masturbates, he is killing potential life, and that is not legislated against. It is not right that women in this country are considered incapable of making personal decisions regarding their bodies. Quintavalle and his Prolife Alliance need to mind their own business and let the parents and doctors decide what is best for the twins.
