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

Best statement of problem and solution on-thread! Kudos!

I worked in health care for decades and interacted with Downs Syndrome patients often.Even when ill (which is why they were at our hospital to begin with) they were invariably sweet,gentle people.

Yes,they need care,protection and guidance but perhaps we can dump the millions of SSDI recipients with phony back pain and anxiety claims and use the money to help genuinely disabled people.

For those that may be new here, There’s only 1 answer for abortion questions on Freerepublic so why ask? Nothing productive comes from such threads and it’s not really a debatable topic.

The only acceptable answer is no.

No baby should ever be aborted.

What a ridiculous question.

No unborn babies should be aborted. Not a one.

However, babies will be aborted. It’s like saying that no women should be raped, or no men should be murdered. There is nothing that will stop all of those bad things. Certainly not laws.

Morality is in the heart, where only Gd can see it. Legislation can be determined with the help of our morality but laws do not stop evildoers.

Humans will never be perfect. But we must not stop trying.

"If anyone has ever had the arms of a Down syndrome child or adult wrapped around your necks, you will know that you have encountered profound love that comes from the heart."

That's nice, warm, and fuzzy.

But it's not the reason Down Syndrome people shouldn't be murdered.

They're PEOPLE! Murdering people because they're inconvenient, or "flawed", or have the wrong skin color, or the wrong ancestors, or the wrong whatever is demonic evil. The idea that we can write people out of the human race because of whatever reason is a lie from the pit of hell; it has wrought unimaginable horror.

"Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me." -I. Nazarenus

Can any baby be aborted depending on disability or viability

Sure ... they CAN ... people do it all the time. It's still murder.

Perhaps all of us should just wait until judgment day to discover the Creator’s answer to that question!

Sometimes, they do. The fear of prison may be enough to dissuade a would be robber or rapist or murderer ... the reality of prison is often enough to prevent them repeating their crimes.

Ok, I do agree. But while laws against murder keep some people from grabbing that gun, they will never stop all murder. People need to realize that laws against abortion worked as well as alcohol prohibition.

I spent 10 yrs working with Special Olympics and the MDA.

I learned what a wonder gift life is.

The kids are amazing.

The question actually borders on offensive.

Perhaps. Drinking alcoholic beverages is not an inherently evil act. Ripping a baby apart with a dull knife is an inherently evil act. Poisoning a baby with concentrated brine is an inherently evil act.

laws against murder keep some people from grabbing that gun, they will never stop all murder.

And that is why we have police, and courts, and prisons, and executioners.

My friend’s daughter is 14 now and perfectly healthy. They wanted him and his wife to abort because of downs, but instead he got a new doctor. Good Christian man.
