War on the Unborn

"But we can continue to give much-needed attention to parents like Kurt Kondrich, who runs the “Stop Aborting Down Syndrome Individuals Now” website. He doesn’t have a public relations budget or any high-powered communications professionals working for him. All he has is the love of a Down syndrome child named Chloe. He and his wife met with Sarah Palin, the mother of a Down syndrome child, during the 2008 campaign. In this age of the new media revolution, however, Kurt has the ability to post provocative and compelling articles about the struggle for life of those without a voice. Kurt Kondrich says: “I have since embarked on a mission to make sure people are aware of this genocide. I want people to see the beautiful faces of our kids and realize the priceless Blessings and Gifts they are to a society that has lost focus.”
