CBS reported Sunday that the majority of expecting mothers in the country or “close to 100 percent” who received a positive test for Down syndrome “terminated their pregnancy.”

The network tweeted on Sunday, "Iceland is on pace to virtually eliminate Down syndrome through abortion. #CBSNOA learns more, tonight at 10pm ET/PT."

The 59-year-old actress took to Twitter with a heated reply, taking aim at the wording of the CBS tweet and Iceland in the process.

"Iceland isn't actually eliminating Down Syndrome. They're just killing everybody that has it. Big difference," she wrote.

Iceland will eliminate babies the same way they eliminated dogs! These people are monstrous.

She got it exactly right. Killing someone with isn’t the same as curing or stopping it.

If CBS says somebody is eliminating Down’s Syndrome, you can be sure they’re not.

Fake news, all day every day.

Good for Patricia Heaton, she’s one of only a few in Hollyweird willing to speak out.

Hitler was eliminating the gene for a lot of deformities. Wasn’t he great?
He just killed everybody with deformed bodies in his quest for the perfect Arian race. And he performed those abortions post birth! I guess CBS would have been very impressed!

By that measure we could easily solve all our issues with Social Security. Just shoot all the old people.

Knowing her conservative leaning views is more than likely why her show ,The Middle, was canceled after this season.

They’re not that far. How do you think socialized medicine deals with monetary pressure on the system? They ration care to the elderly. Once they die, they cost the government much less $.

And by the same argument, the Nazis were eliminating Tay-Sachs disease in Europe.

She was well known as a conservative back in her Raymond days. We loved her here on FR for that.

Same as when they eliminate teen prgenancies via abortion.

Cuts down on teen motherhood but not teen pregnancy.
