This is absolutely heartbreaking. :(

all expectant mothers must be informed about availability of screening test

Adding to the nightmare, in Iceland there will leventually be government sanctions against families that refuse to abort, and a social stigma against the reputations of families that refused to abort children deemed 'unfit' by the state to emerge from their mother's womb.

This reads that it was written by a pro abortionist, rather than an honest medical researcher/politician Honest journalist

“Inside the country where Down syndrome is disappearing...”

...because said children are being murdered.

There. Factually correct, no?

35+ years in NY: knew about Down’s Syndrome, but rarely saw cases. Something gnawed at me about the “1 in 300” stats not lining up with reality somehow.
Then I moved to GA: Down’s kids everywhere, like...1 in 300.
Not moving back to NY.

Fake News.
They haven’t “eliminated Down’s Syndrome”, they’re eliminating those who have Down’s Syndrome.

Der Fuhrer is pleased with their “progress”

This is terrible. Downs children are some of the most happiest and loving children I have ever come across.

To terminate their lives is sickening.

Ah, I love how the cheery headline makes it seem as though Downs is being miraculously cured through some means other than murder.

Using an ultrasound, blood test and the mother's age, the test, called the Combination Test, determines whether the fetus will have a chromosome abnormality, the most common of which results in Down syndrome.

So it sounds to me like they're just guessing. They don't know the kid has Dawn's, they just find a few factors that don't rule it out, and kill him anyway.
