France’s Conseil d’État (State Council) has confirmed its ban of the award-winning “Dear Future Mom” video from French television, declaring that the “inappropriate” images of happy Down syndrome children might bother women who had chosen to abort their babies.

The Council stated that the video in question could not be shown since it was “likely to trouble the conscience of women who had made different personal life choices in compliance with the law.”

Liberals everywhere are snowflakes and must be protected from difficult things such as truth.

It makes just as much sense to say that the literal existence of Downs Syndrome people might make some abortive mother feel regret. So they should be banned from ever appearing in public.

This damned French ruling certainly send a message that, hey smiling little ones, all in all, we wish you were dead.

People still care what happens to France, Germany, Sweden and a few other places over there?

It’s a waste of energy. They CHOSE the leaders that did this. Wasn’t an accident or a dictatorship.

And they will choose them again.

Just like the conservatives chose merkel for two more years.

This really is both disgusting and disturbing. People with Down’s Syndrome are some of the most cheerful people I’ve ever come across. They shouldn’t be treated like that by the French government just to theoretically protect some “feelings.”

They have something that they can teach “normal” people about attitude.

Those who promote abortion always yammer on about how the “choice” was the right one for the mother who aborted.

If these mothers who abort their Downs babies are comfortable with their “choice,” it is impossible for a video to upset them or make them feel regret. Only someone who knows that she made the wrong “choice” can possibly feel regret for it.

I’m guessing that the abortion industry in France is losing business as women become more informed. I think they have approached the politicians (who are taking kickbacks) to work out a deal to use the law to enforce ignorance about abortion to try to get the clientele base back up.

Gee. Why would you be offended at seeing a happy child that was not killed before it was born?

This is horrible.

I have read that having a Down’s Syndrome baby can be an incredibly happy experience. A lot of hard work, I suppose, but apparently these children only see the good in life.
