I agree and this is exactly what Hitler would have done if he had the technological ability.
This is the characteristic reaction of most people who get to know a Downs person. Their level of cognitive impairment varies widely but can easily be minimal.
One really has to question what ails those who would destroy such a child, and for what.
Time to hide the babies in the bull rushes.....
Normal people can have abnormal children, aborting all the abnormal children isn’t going to prevent the incidence of their conception
I think the author meant that they would not be allowed to leave the womb alive. None in the community anymore.
Although I remember when Downs and other mentally disabled children were disappeared to the local state children’s home. Volunteered at my local one when I was 13.
It’s such a shame that people did that. I remember when I was in elementary school in the 1970’s there were half a dozen or so children with Down’s in my school. They weren’t in the regular classrooms, of course, but they had lunch and recess and went on field trips with the rest of us. It was a good thing for them and for us.
If there ever was a credible person to absolutely destroy this issue it would be Sarah Palin...
DS babies are known as “God’s clowns”. Easy to laugh, not marked by the vanities of man and unburdened by the stupidity of contemporary living.
I researched a lot of syndromes when my son was little, and many have a certain phenotype so that the face looks slightly “different” from the genetically typical people. I studied these looks to see if my son fit in somewhere.
When I first saw Susan Boyle I recognized one of those looks. I don’t think she was ever diagnosed under a syndrome, but I believe she is affected by one somehow.
LISTEN to her gifted, beautiful voice.
Yet she may not have perfect genes. She may have learning differences. But G-d had reasons for all of us being here. No one is “perfect.”
That would be a conundrum, wouldn't it.
i forget the percentages but the majority of children born with tri 21 are born to women under the age of 35, mine was born 1 months after my 32nd bd. I know of many other moms who were around that age give or take a year or so when they gave birth to their child with down syndrome. Because many more women give birth before 35 then those who give birth after that age the actual percentage of births for those age groups are lower in the under thirty five and higher in the over 35. (and now I think I just got myself all confused, lol)
hmm i think that’s the print that I’ve got to get framed. I have another one by this artist and I think this is the one I got as a gift a year or so ago. I should really get it framed, I love those pictures.
“Will Babies with Down Syndrome Just Disappear?”
If they plan to vote Republican, then yes. (/sarc)
Yeah, but it's a nervous laugh. DS people are 'closer' to God than most 'normal' (there's a laugh) people.
Folic acid has been found to protect the unborn child or if they have DS it isn’t as bad.
Soon it may be ok to just kill the kid off after the birth also.
Maybe just wait a week and see if there is something the “parents” don’t like.
Not right after, but, shortly after obama care becomes effective they will.
obama care will operate as the Anti-Christ. Fot a year or two, everything will be heaven on earth under obama care. The supporters will be taunting the ones that were against it,saying, “ See it has been a year, use lenght of time, nothing of what you people said would happening has happened.”
Next, people will start disappearing. Grand children will go to the nursing home to see grand mother and/or father. Grand mother/father will not be there. “Where is grandmother/father” they will ask. “They passed away earlier in the week” the administration will say. “Why weren’t we notified”, the grand children will say.” Under the new Fereral Medical Rules, we are not allowed to notify anyone except the Medical Department of the government” the administrator will respond, “I’m sorry”. And similiar thngs will happen to every afflicted child and adult that are deemed unworthy until all have disappeared.
And to those who voted for obama for “free health care”, it will not really be free. All it will cost you is your soul.
