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.

I used to watch that show back when I was watching TV. I would think the kids got to old?

Good for her for calling CBS out on this. Typical liberal spin of words.

Everyone should read “A Sign for Cain” by Frederick Wertham, in which he details how the Nazis systematically destroyed lives “without value” in the late twenties and the thirties in Germany. They cleaned out the old age homes first, then the institutions for the mentally ill, and then the orphanages. With the kids, they singled out “bed wetters and those with big ears or red hair.” The early modus operandi was to just starve them to death. That took too long, so they got their gas chambers going.

“eliminate Down syndrome through abortion”

Uh, no! Make it sound like an altruistic research project getting rid of a dread disease!

Since when is it genetic, anyway?

“Iceland is on pace to virtually eliminate Down syndrome through abortion.”

They’re the world’s worst hacks.

Could be, but you’d could also argue that the show has pretty much run its course.
The kids, except for Brick, are pretty much adults, and the show was really about the family relationship with the kids.

It is the one sitcom where the Dad isn’t portrayed as a helpless idiot who the wife and kids continually outsmart. I liked that.

Good for her calling out the MSM for pushing leftist agenda with yet more biased distorted “reporting”.
