ADVOCACY - "Greater things are still to be done"

As we enter a new year I wanted to share this video of the positive seeds Chloe has planted with policymakers and VIPs, and the smallest Voice truly can make the Largest Impact!

Bearing false witness against thy neighbor (with Down syndrome)

"I was thinking of how this mandate from God pertains to the misinformation being given to parents who have a child diagnosed prenatally with Down syndrome. I have heard story after story of parents being told that their child is defective, will require a lifetime of intensive care, and the best possible medical action is to terminate the child."

The Missing Photograph Images

"I reflected that not long ago priceless children like Chloe would have been excluded from most family albums and portraits. Today Chloe and children like her are included in schools and communities, but 90%+ of children diagnosed prenatally with Down syndrome are excluded from entering the world."

An unborn woman's right to choose life -- the XX Factor

"I have been trying to shed Light on the very slippery slope of prenatal eugenics, and an extra Chromosome 21 and XX Chromosomes have already placed millions of unborn females and children with Down syndrome on the termination list."

Down syndrome Unalienable Right to Life

"This is a spiritual battle for the very soul and life of our One Nation under God and Chloe has very conclusively shown the world that her unalienable right to life has planted countless positive seeds as she uses her liberty to pursue and spread happiness."

Disabled Children Have So Much to Teach Us

"Chloe has succeeded in changing people’s perceptions of children with Down syndrome, given her own exceptional accomplishments. The picture of Senator Santorum posing with Chloe says more than words ever could. His broad grin shows that he has come to realize the worth of every human life, no matter what challenges that life may face."

"Sticks and stones" and Down syndrome eugenics

My latest article:

"Currently 90%+ of children diagnosed prenatally with Down syndrome are targeted and terminated with no chance of escape once they have been labeled "defective" or "imperfect." With a non-invasive prenatal test for Down syndrome being introduced and recommended for all pregnant women in a culture obsessed with misguided perfection, clearly the most critical issue facing the Down syndrome community is extinction of these precious individuals."

Saving Down Syndrome - PLEASE PASS IT ON!

"We are a New Zealand based group of parents and siblings of people with Down syndrome. We have formed in response to the New Zealand Government's new state funded eugenic antenatal screening programme that targets and identifies unborn children with Down syndrome for selective abortion. Were in the news for standing for the life of people with Down syndrome."

The Missing Buddies

"There is rarely a mention of the silent, eugenic movement occurring in our culture which identifies targets and terminates 90%+ of future Buddy Walk participants. What would be the response to a Down syndrome awareness video that showed ultrasounds of 100 children diagnosed prenatally with Down syndrome and then at the end there was a statement that less than 10 of these children make it out alive?"

Access denied!

"The rapid advances in technology and genetics will soon open prenatal windows into other unique, priceless members of the human race, and will we use this science to deny access to others deemed imperfect or not worthy to receive entry into our world?"

Women of Grace Television Show

The 2 TV episodes I taped for "Women of Grace" on EWTN are now available for viewing online. Please pass this on, and now more than ever we need to raise our voices and show the world what a Priceless Blessing children with Down syndrome are to a lost culture.

Navigating the System: How to Be An Advocate (Program 10230)

"The only disease that needs to be "eradicated" is the culture of death we live in with its twisted mandates for perfection. If Down syndrome is a disease then the world needs to catch the symptoms and spread them quickly - unconditional love, purity, innocence, honesty, and an incorruptible spirit of Light!"

Preparing for Loving Challenge (Program 10229)

"Having a child with a disability allows you to quickly discover the true heart and core of people, and Chloe and all children with disabilities are a wake-up call to a world obsessed with perfection, instant gratification and self."
http://catholicwomenofgrace.net/tv-shows/10229-Preparing-for-Loving-Challenge.html

National Pro-Life Radio Interview

On 04/21/11 I did an interview on National Pro-Life Radio with Host Day Gardner about what a Priceless Blessing children with Down syndrome are to this world, and I shared the journey God has led our family on. You can listen to the interview by clicking here: http://nplr.mdsone.com/da/2230045

Disregarding Down syndrome "diseased embryos"

"New official guidelines in the United Kingdom state that teenagers around the age of 15 or 16 years of age should receive a genetic test to see if they are carriers of incurable inherited conditions like Down's syndrome" http://www.renewamerica.com/columns/kondrich/110408

Defending Chloe's Existence -- Dad's Perspective

"I did however say this award was bittersweet, and it is sad to receive an award for defending the very existence of your child and those like her! Imagine if 90%+ children with brown hair and brown eyes were identified, targeted and eliminated prenatally and you were the proud, loving parent of one of the few survivors. Would you fight to defend your child and let the world know what a gift and Blessing your child is?"

The diseased culture of death

"The only disease that needs to be "eradicated" is the culture of death we live in with its twisted mandates for perfection. If Down syndrome is a disease then the world needs to catch the symptoms and spread them quickly — unconditional love, purity, innocence, honesty, and an incorruptible spirit of Light!"

Planting Positive Seeds - Grove City College Harbison Chapel

On Tuesday 02/08/11 I had the honor of addressing 1475 students, faculty and guests at Grove City College Harbison Chapel concerning what a priceless Blessing children with Down syndrome are to the world (It was also carried live on Grove City College Radio). You can listen to my presentation by clicking here http://www2.gcc.edu/media/chapel.htm and then clicking on Kurt Kondrich 02/08/11

Death By Medical Breakthrough

"Another ominous point: Because this maternal blood test is so much safer than amniocentesis, more mothers will likely seek them out than in the past. More Down syndrome babies will be identified. And more of them will be aborted—in part because medical professional paint such a negative picture of what life will be like with a Down syndrome child.

It’s one thing to encourage parents to undergo prenatal testing if the purpose is to prepare them for what lies ahead, or if there’s something that can be done about a medical problem. It’s quite another matter to use testing as a search-and-destroy mission, identifying problems that cannot be solved—and then pressuring patients to abort and try again for a less “defective” child."

Perfectly Human: My Upward Down Syndrome Journey

People ask me what it is like to change careers so radically, and I respond that I really have not changed my work focus at all. My mission now is the same as it was during my days as a Police Officer - "To serve and protect".
