“Extreme” Reflection of a Pro-life Dad

"Many people in our society fail to realize that by some estimates as many as 90%+ of individuals diagnosed prenatally with Down syndrome are targeted and eliminated because they are “flawed.” I’d submit that this is the ultimate “extreme” instance of intolerance and prejudice."

The case for a Prenatal Endangered Species Act (PESA)

"If Chloe was an endangered rat, squirrel, monkey or elephant with a 90%+ termination rate she would be quickly moved from "threatened" status to "endangered" status and receive full legal protection and attention."

"What if Mary received prenatal counseling?"

"How many bright lights have we eliminated prenatally because the culture views their postnatal lives as a liability with no hope for the future?  As we journey through this season of Miracles let us remember that LIFE is a priceless gift regardless of the prenatal situation, and when we as human beings embrace this irreplaceable gift we will move out of the darkness and into the Light.
Merry Christmas and PEACE on Earth!” http://www.renewamerica.com/columns/kondrich/131210

It’s a Wonderful GIFT – Life!

"I have watched Chloe transform the beliefs and views of countless people by focusing them on ABILITIES and not disability. There are kids alive today because of the Light Chloe shone upon families who’d been given negative, depressing prenatal news about their unborn child with Down syndrome. We desperately need a heavenly army of angels like Clarence to deliver uplifting news to a culture that labels certain human beings as “defective” and not fit for a wonderful life—indeed, supposedly incapable of a wonderful life! But the question is what would our society look like if the 90%+ children with Down syndrome who have been prenatally eliminated had been embraced? What if they’d been given the chance to have a wonderful life?"

First they came prenatally for Down syndrome

"If Life does not win the debate then we will continue down a slippery slope of silent eugenics eliminating all classified “defectives”. First they came prenatally for Down syndrome, then they came for females, then for Autism, then they came for…..?"

A heart for LIFE or death

Approximately half of all infants born with Down syndrome have a heart defect, and successful surgery allows many children with these heart conditions to thrive as well as any child with Down syndrome who is born with a normal heart. This is awesome news for children with Down syndrome who survive to postnatal status, but 90%+ of these beautiful children receive a heart and life ending judgment by a misguided culture that views them as "defective."

Washington Times Letter - "Obamacare funds aborting Down syndrome"

"Obamacare provides funding for abortion, the procedure being used to terminate the majority of children with Down syndrome. The reality many disability advocates fail to address is that only 10 percent or less of children who survive from prenatal to postnatal, pre-existing Down syndrome can access health care coverage. Why should the disability community be excited about health coverage that funds the instrument being used to terminate 90 percent of individuals diagnosed with a prenatal, pre-existing condition they claim to champion?"

Save the Pandas AND Down syndrome

"I think pandas are amazing creatures, and it would be a real tragedy if these mammals were to become extinct. My amazing 10 year old daughter Chloe who has Down syndrome is also an endangered mammal species with a 90%+ termination rate once identified prenatally in the womb habitat. Mammals that have Down syndrome have a unique genetic code, and they bring incalculable amounts of joy, love and purity into our culture. They are also, like the panda, a species we cannot allow to become extinct."

The world doesn’t know what it’s missing

"Chloe Kondrich is an energetic and delightful little girl. Together, Chloe and her father Kurt have become advocates for individuals with Down syndrome.  Even as a child, she’s proving that nothing holds her back from fully enjoying life."

Cultural prenatal and postnatal disability bullying

"Currently 90%+ of children diagnosed prenatally with Down syndrome are intentionally targeted and physically terminated, and this prenatal cultural bullying epidemic receives very little if any media coverage or public outcry. If 90%+ of children of a specific race, nationality or gender were bullied because people saw them as not worthy to be here, what type of reporting or worldwide attention do you think this would receive?"

Focusing on Prenatal ABILITIES -- The womb classroom!

"During a child's education there are many tests given to determine ABILITIES and focus on supports and adaptations to ensure success. Traditionally a test score of 90%+ indicates a high level of success in an area of study, but there currently are prenatal tests that have a 90%+ termination rate that must be viewed as a failing grade. These prenatal tests for Down syndrome have allowed our misguided culture to label many prenatal students as "defective" and exclude them from being born into the classroom of life. With rapid advances in prenatal testing occurring we all need to examine which group of prenatal students will next be denied Life Inclusion because they are viewed as failures before birth."

Thanking Two Pro-Life Champions

"These two congressmen have an unwavering commitment to the sanctity and protection of our most precious, sacred national resource – human life, and Chloe and Alex are members of a group of individuals who are prenatally being identified, targeted and eliminated at a 90%+ rate while most of the country and world stands by in disturbing silence. Congressmen Smith and Franks fearlessly embrace and protect our most vulnerable children, and their legislative records clearly show their unwavering commitment to all life."

Curing the culture of death -- NOT Down syndrome!

"The only thing that needs to be "silenced" is the silent prenatal eugenic movement which has terminated 90%+ of these priceless children, and our misguided culture of death and depravity needs to focus on ways to "turn off" the genetic chromosomes that cause murder, mayhem, perversion, evil and destruction. My daughter and her chromosome 21 peers have never caused any intentional malice or evil in this world, and I frequently ask "What would society look like if we had more of these messengers of peace and love?"

The trial the media missed - death sentence commuted!

"Another trial was also occurring this past week involving an unborn child who was facing the death penalty for the cultural violation of having an extra chromosome.  In ten years the evidence I have gathered and observed clearly leads me to the verdict that Chloe can and never will intentionally hurt anyone, and she is not capable of criminal intent or malice. Why then are 90%+ of children diagnosed prenatally with Down syndrome given a death sentence without ever receiving a trial or jury?"

The Ticking Clock: Down syndrome and “Heart-Ending Decisions”

The reality is that the “heartrending decision” made to target and eliminate a child diagnosed prenatally with Down syndrome is actually a “heart-ending” decision for the child.
Children like my beautiful daughter Chloe are the human beings up against the “ticking clock” as 90%+ of these precious, irreplaceable individuals are being identified, targeted and terminated in a silent eugenic movement that needs a national and international debate.

"We are here!" How one small voice can make a tremendous impact!

"As Horton's culture begins the process to destroy the life in Whoville, Horton tells the individuals they must scream as loud as they can so the outside world knows that "they are here." All individuals in Whoville begin screaming "We Are Here," and it is not until the smallest voice joins in that the cloud of silence is lifted and the outside world realizes they are destroying life and the slaughter stops."  http://www.renewamerica.com/columns/kondrich/130706

A glimpse of Eden

"Currently 90%+ of children like Chloe diagnosed prenatally with Down syndrome are targeted and eliminated by a lost culture of death that has been deceived into believing these priceless, precious children are defective. Since the devil cannot lead these individuals out of Eden he is utilizing genetic testing and abortion to destroy an incorruptible group of human beings who bring immeasurable love and light to a world that is rapidly embracing total darkness."

Girl With Down Syndrome Inspires Families to Reject Abortion

Chloe’s life has made an impact on other people. In the past year, the Kondrich Family has connected with three different couples whose babies were prenatally diagnosed with Down syndrome. All three were considering abortion.  Then they met Chloe. Her exceptional life touched something deep inside them. Through Chloe’s witness, they realized the value of the baby they were carrying. Because of Chloe, all three couples chose life for their babies.

WORD FM Radio Interview

During the week of 03/21/13 (World Down Syndrome Day) I was interviewed by WORD FM Radio in Pittsburgh, PA about what a priceless Blessing and precious Gift individuals with Down syndrome are, and I spoke about the silent prenatal eugenic movement to eliminate these beautiful children http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C0c0j6Fc9r0 .  Please take a few minutes to listen and help spread the good news about these "Brilliant Souls"!

Rooted in the WORD or the WORLD -- The "L" difference!

"In today's world it is easy to become swept away by the deception and lies being endorsed continuously by a culture of death and immorality. I am the father of a beautiful 9 year old daughter Chloe who has Down syndrome, and one of the greatest Lies being promoted by the world is that children like my Chloe are defective and need to be targeted and eliminated prenatally so they do not burden the world."

The War on Jesus Christ

"90%+ of children like my Chloe are identified, targeted and eliminated prenatally because the culture of death we are living in has caused people to ignore truth and see these priceless children as defective. My Chloe will tell you that "Jesus made me perfect," and truer words were never spoken! Maybe if during this Christmas season our misguided world would embrace Jesus and His works on this earth we could end the violence, hatred and evil that have infected our godless society."
