SEE DOWN-SYNDROME GIRL SHRED U.N. 'EXPERT'
WND (World Net Daily) ^ | 12/9/2017 | Bob Unruh

Posted on 12/09/2017 4:40:14 PM PST by Robert DeLong

Responding to an expert for the United Nation’s Human Rights Committee who recently advocated killing unborn children who have Down syndrome, a young woman with the condition fired back.

“You sir, do not speak for my community,” Charlotte Fien said a video on the website for the European Center for Law and Justice, a non-governmental organization that has special consultative status before the United Nations.

She was responding to Ben Achour, who said that a diagnosis of Down syndrome in the womb “does not mean that we have to accept to let a disabled fetus live.”

“If you tell a woman your child as Down … what is it called? Down syndrome. If you tell her that, or that he may have a handicap forever, for the rest of his life, it should be possible for her to resort to abortion to avoid the handicap [as] a preventive measure,” he said.

Fien responded: “I’m a human being just like you. Our only difference is an extra chromosome. My extra chromosome makes me far more tolerant than you, sir. (…) If any other [in]heritable traits like skin color were used to eradicate a group of people the world would cry out.”

Downs people are the most beautiful people I’ve ever met. I had one sit on my lap as I explained all the controls and gauges and knobs and switches on the flight deck and she remembered every one of them when I quizzed her at the end.

We had a frequent flyer patient that we ran almost every day for several years. He was diabetic and his blood sugar would crash to the point he was unconscious about supper time. He had a Down’s son that would call and save his dad’s life day after day.

Despite living in deplorable conditions, the kid was always smiles and glad to see us. It was said that he saved more lives than any person in our department probably ever would.

I do not understand liberals and their love affair with abortion.

I fiercely protected mine daily against ANY and ALL disrespect. They had nothing but love in their hearts (if treated properly) ~ if mistreated, well, they might open a 55 Gal. drum of whoopass! HA! NBL = nuttin' but love...

I ran into an 8yo at Wally’s one day; a sad case of real bad Downs (there’s degrees of it) anyway this kid had something in his hands he was so excited about and ran up to me to show it. I knelt down to his level and got just as excited as he was. He threw his arms around my neck and gave me a hug and a kiss. His mom almost burst into tears. I dislike very much people who for one reason or other disparage the helpless and make fun of them. On my flights I make sure the CA’s take extra special attention to them.

A few years ago there was a feature story in the Pennsylvania Dairyman Newspaper about a Central Pennsylvania farmer whose Down Syndrome son managed the dairy herd. He was superb.

He knew each cow and how it was feeling that day. Milk production was excellent.

This impressive young woman should have a permanent UN post just to keep those bogus experts in line --- or have them expellled.

Human rights begin where human life begins.

As the grandmother of two Downs Syndrome children, I agree.

When I was a seminary student, I taught a Sunday School class of mentally challenged people - mostly kids, mostly with Down Syndrome. Wonderful, sweet, honest people.

We were 38 when my wife got pregnant with my daughter. The doctor asked us if we wanted to do an amniocentesis to determine if she was Downs or not. Since it had a risk of causing a miscarriage and abortion was never an option anyway, we declined.

This is beyond sick. Isn't this what the Nazis did? Margret Sanger would be happy.

The Romans would leave newborn"undesirables" on a hillside to die.

We are de-evolving.
