New Era, New Worry

The pediatrician was harsher: "You should consider putting him up for adoption," she said. "You're going to end up divorced. Don't even bother having any other children. Didn't you have the option to terminate?" Finally, the pediatrician left

No 'final solution,' but a way forward

"Were God's design for us left unhindered," he says, "we could naturally expect to welcome 40,000 or more newborn infants with Down syndrome each year in the U.S. And yet we have reduced that number to just under 5,500.

'Eugenic Abortion’: With Pre-Natal Testing, 9 in 10 Down Syndrome Babies Aborted

“In the 1960s, we were told that legal abortion would be a rare tragic act in cases of exceptional hardship. In the ‘70s abortion began to be both decried and accepted as birth control. In the ‘80s respected geneticists pointed out that it was cheaper to hunt for and abort Down’s babies than to raise them. By the ‘90s that observation had been widely put into action. Now we are refining and extending our eugenic vision, with new tests and abortion as our central tools.”

No Residency for Boy with Down Syndrome

In its decision, the Department of Immigration and Citizenship cited Lukas' "existing medical condition," saying it was "likely to result in a significant and ongoing cost to the Australian community," according to a statement Thursday.
"This is not discrimination. A disability in itself is not grounds for failing the health requirement — it is a question of the cost implications to the community," the statement said.

Down Syndrome Dangers

Abortion is now used as a "disability prevention measure." The effort to eliminate Down syndrome translates into the worst kind of social engineering: the annihilation of an entire group of people who are precious. Our alternative: Accept the love and the God-blessed joys of raising a child—a life—that God has given. Jesus says, "Bless the little children, for of such is the kingdom of heaven." Even children with Down syndrome.

The Palin Trig-ger - Looking behind the hostility

Studies indicate that more than 80 percent of prenatal Down Syndrome diagnoses end in abortion. Parents are often influenced by doctors, therapists, friends and family to see these children not as a gift, but rather a burden to be feared and eliminated. Governor Palin has been clear that, despite the challenges Trig’s condition will present, she and her husband Todd joyfully celebrate the gift of this precious life to their family.

"Airbrushing Diversity": Parents of Down Syndrome Children Tell of Abortion Pressures

Dr. Lise Poirier-Groulx, the subject of another of the three articles, is a medical doctor and a mother of a Down Syndrome child. She relates how when it was discovered that she was pregnant with a Down child, the doctors with whom she dealt strongly pressured her to abort the child. "It was assumed that you were going to terminate," recounts Poirier-Groulx. "Everywhere I went it was assumed."

The Last Acceptable Prejudice

Part of the reason why prenatal disability discrimination has thrived resides in a medical establishment with a decidedly pro-abortion prejudice against babies with disabilities. Parents informed that their unborn child will be born with a disability are often given only the negative aspects of raising a child with a disability.

A Child To Lead Us

Chrissie is a blessing in a way a normal child is not. It is in describing her that the word “special” rises from banality and comes grippingly alive. That she may now be a member of the last generation of her kind, a group silently and methodically targeted for extinction, alarms my heart. Especially now, knowing as I do that when she is older, Chrissie will be able to read – and understand – what I have written.

Targeting the Womb

The Eugenics movement in the early 1900s was a precursor to Nazi Germany's genocide of persons with disabilities. Ninety-two percent is a virtual extermination, sanctioned by doctors and parents. It's a number that reflects the broader society's attitude toward persons with disabilities.

Down Syndrome Babies: An “Endangered Species”?

In October of 2006, my husband and I visited the Holocaust Museum in Washington, D.C. It was heart-wrenching to see what Nazis did with “special needs” people. Their methods of trying to create a “pure” race” and use the processes of “selection” were horrifying! Those tactics would never be allowed in the United States…would they?
