Indiana Gov. Signs Law Banning Abortion of Babies with Down's Syndrome
MRC TV ^ | March 25, 2016 | Ben Graham

Indiana Governor Mike Pence (R) signed a new pro-life bill into law Thursday that will, among other things, prevent the abortions of babies diagnosed with a disability or defect.

“Some of my most precious moments as governor have been with families of children with disabilities, especially those raising children with Down syndrome,” said Pence.

“We are pleased that our state values life no matter an individual’s potential disability, gender or race,” Mike Fichter, president and chief executive of Indiana Right to Life, said in a statement. “We also believe that the other measures in the bill are positive steps forward for providing dignity and compassion.”

Moving from NY to GA, I was amazed how the former had nearly no Downs kids while the latter has them everywhere (i.e. the expected 1:300 ratio).

No doubt there are plenty of good foster parents to handle it.

I’ve seen Down people in my state (Maryland), so there is some sanity left here.

I’m sure Donald knows you will step up to raise these afflicted children. It’s all good.

Maybe Disney, Coke and the other corporate goons will want to boycott the state over this?

You mean that aborting healthy babies is OK and legal, but it is illegal to abort a baby with Down syndrome?

I really don’t understand this. Why is a baby with Downs Syndrome more important than a baby without it? This is good news, but what about the normal children? Kill the healthy kids but let the sick ones live? This is a “start?” To what? ...Another indication of liberal insanity?

Actually I do and I'm sure he doesn't care one wit. Probably like yourself. Have a great life.
