No

There are some wonderful service providers to these people these days, and they can live lives surprisingly fulfilling.

It’s no less an evil act to abort them as it would be for any other fetus.

I still think of it as genocide. 50 plus million people and their offspring do not exist. That is pure evil.

Is it OK to just cold-bloodedly kill innocent children?

Golly. That’s a tough one ... gimme a minute ...

No

But I ask

Can any baby be aborted depending on disability or viability

And where would this road toward a MASTER RACE end?

How many false diagnoses are acceptable?

I worked with a couple who lived through that and that Father has had to live for the last 25 years with the thought that he wanted to abort his perfectly healthy daughter, out of fear and selfishness.

That is a family decision. I’m not going to be the one there taking care of the child. I can pontificate all I want to.
In general, just because the child has Down Syndrome, is usually not enough reason to prevent the birth. If the child has profound birth defects, that will make a stillborn birth very likely anyway, or endanger the mother, then perhaps so.
I wouldn’t dream of sitting in moral judgement of such parents, under those conditions.

A Downs child is a gift from God. The child gives love in incredible amounts, far greater than the extra care that is given.

Should Down syndrome children and adults be killed? The answer to both questions is the same: NO!

Many considerations here....who will be available for the lifetime of care needed, how will expenses be met, effects on other family members, mental stability of parents, advice of doctors, and others I haven’t even thought of.

Heartwrenching decision, certainly.

Then there’s Alfie Evans 23 month old sick child in England, a “victim” of Socialized “medicine”.

Italy has offered to fly him to a hospital in Rome to provide appropriate medical care and treatment and to look at experimental treatments that could help his degenerative neurological condition.

However, British courts have PREVENTED Alfie’s parents from taking him there and a European Court of human rights (human rights???) has refused to intervene. They just want him dead!

I am horrified that modern “progressives” are so anxious to kill the helpless. Yet Alfie Evans refuses to “get the “memo”. The godless see no miracles in anything… what a sad place in which they dwell.

Prayers for Alfie and all others the State and Courts of “human rights” (human rights???) deem not worthy to live. To them we are little more than human livestock to be culled.

Technically those questions could be asked about any unborn baby-——who really ever knows what’s ahead?

Wait...I thought it was the Nazi’s who wanted to exterminate the disabled?

Now you’re telling me it’s liberals?

In the US hundreds of thousands of babies are aborted ‘without’ Down Syndrome so suspect it’s an easy vote of yes for those who favor abortion anyway.

So states a Kentucky legislator in supporting a law banning abortions involving a fetus with Down syndrome if the diagnosis is the reason for ending a pregnancy.

This is where the irrationality of a legal system causes the entire social order to collapse.

If abortion is deemed to be "legal" as a matter of constitutional law, then it's ludicrous to pretend that the law can be used to prohibit it under specific circumstances.

That's why it shouldn't be legal under any circumstances.

A legal system can't function at all if it isn't even built on consistent basic principles.
