Prenatal Diagnosis and Reproductive Justice

"We also know that children are aborted in droves upon the diagnosis of Down Syndrome, which is a disability, not a disease. In Ireland, up to 50% children diagnosed with Down Syndrome are aborted. That half of all children diagnosed with Down Syndrome are aborted is shocking, but it is a relatively low rate when compared to the neighboring United Kingdom where the number is around 90%. In the United States, the percentage of Down Syndrome babies carried to term is in the single digits."
