Because they're inconvenient. /s
I saw Rachel Campos-Duffy this morning on F&F talking about her newborn with Down's. I'm always impressed by parents of children with this disability, particularly when the kids are mostly grown. I see them in the Wal-mart or grocery store and just think "Wow!".
The media didn’t say it, but it got said - we all knew and loved the “deal about Trig - and I still see his young sister licking her hand and flattening some unruly hair on his head as the camera panned the stands....
Growing up-our neighbor had a sister whose son (Donnie) had Downs syndrome. A very sweet boy. That sister had another son who died at a young age, in a plane accident
The sister outlived her husband and other siblings. Donnie, alone, cared for his mother until her death. Amazing.
My Ob asked if I wanted an amnio to rule out Downs since I was of “advanced maternal age” (41) and I said no, I wasn’t doing anything about it if came back positive. I didn’t give a hoot if the baby had Downs. He said at least I would be able to line up resources and I said plenty of time for that. Lucky me I got a healthy baby, though still a scary birth as the umbilical cord practically strangulated her during the birth and she was blue and cold when she arrived. But the team got her breathing and now she is a beautiful college educated conservative adult.
Just wait until a gay gene is discovered and watch the left go nuts.
my sister was given a diagnosis of a downs baby... she never thought about an abortion and my nephew was born without it.
Good Article.

I’ve used this two minute video on Down’s children in my Confirmation classes with great results:

Very dear friends of ours had a Down’s boy. He was a very special person all of his short life until he passed away from related medical issues. My children grew up playing with him, it slowly dawned on them that he was not like them but it didn’t matter to them. They loved him just as he was, he was a very lucky boy to be born into a family that all loved him just as he was. Everyone that knew him felt he taught them far more, and brought them more joy than he required with his special needs. His funeral in his middle 20s was packed with standing room only in the back.
It breaks my heart to know if that very special baby that was a gift from God had been gifted to another family they might have ended his life before he was able to live. Coldly taking away the gift he gave by teaching all of us about overcoming the struggle of life that we are all dealt in one way or another.
My last pregnancy ended in miscarriage, but that tragedy became even more unbearable when someone on the expecting board I frequented announced that she had terminated her pregnancy at that same time due to a DS diagnosis.
I still ask God why He didn’t give the DS child to me, instead, as I would have never aborted him/her. Heartbreaking. But I know that in all things God works for good for those who love Him and are called according to His purpose.
Never heard of Downs Syndrome person going out & shooting in a crowd of people.

Wonder why they divorced?
Together a long time
She keeps herself up well
People change unfortunately
Different things keep a marriage together thru harder times
Kids
Intimacy....a big one
Depending on one another
Being raised not to divorce
Fear
I envy marriages that never have many bumps...there are some
