To: I cannot think of a name

“Most children born with Down’s syndrome are born to teenage mothers. Women having children later in life almost never have a child with Down’s syndrome.”

As a parent of a DS kid, we were told the exact opposite. Why do you think expecting mothers over 35 are screened for carrying DS kids? I don’t think you are correct.

I agree with you. It is the exact opposite. As a woman grows older her chance of having a downs syndrome child increases.

“(just one more sarcastic log of reality to throw on the fire of this absolute nonsense.)”

Sorry, if I were more computer literate I would have put the word “sarcastic” in bold and italics in my previous message. And exactly what you were told is exactly the point I was trying to make.
