Nailed It !

While Americans watched in shock as a CBS News report detailed the near-100 percent abortion rate for unborn babies with Down syndrome in Iceland, people in Iceland were celebrating at an annual diversity festival.
Gunnar Ingi Gunnarsson, the pastor of a small Baptist church in Reykjavík, pointed out the sad irony of this in a column for Christianity Today.
The only Baptist pastor in Iceland, Gunnarsson said abortions have skyrocketed in the country, and very few people – including clergy – speak out against them. He is one of the few who goes against the pervasive atheistic, anti-life beliefs in Iceland and openly advocates for unborn babies’ rights.
Gunnarsson wrote:
We have our work cut out for us. As pro-life advocates around the globe discussed Iceland’s abortion rate for Down syndrome, our country was wrapping up a festival called “Hinsegin dagar,” or “Different Days,” which includes Reykjavik’s gay pride celebration. Contrasting the approach to Down syndrome with this week-long event dedicated to celebrating diversity, I was struck by the narrow kind of diversity our nation has opted to champion.
When society forfeits its appeal to a higher authority and gives itself to humanistic morality, the Christian belief that all have value as image bearers of the one true God of the universe becomes the exception.

Hmm, seems a risky gamble for a tiny island nation perched atop a bunch of volcanos.
Nations are killing their own while endorsing degenerates and importing savages.
Good point
Many years ago I was working in the nursery.
A young lady delivered a baby girl with Down’s and was so shocked that she refused to even touch the baby.
I spent many hours holding and cuddling that poor little girl...rocking in one of the rockers we had for that purpose.
It’s VERY important for an infant to have close contact in those critical first few days.
I finally went home for long overdue rest, when I returned the baby and the mother were gone...I was afraid to ask about them but someone told me they went home together...
I still think of those 3 days.
God Bless You!!!
Especially ours. I will never understand this. It's a mental disease and a defect of humanity that represents these people. The Left and Islam are the greatest threats to mankind.
Isn’t this the backwards island where the locals still believe in elves?
Good work.
Nailed It !
Actually most woman in Iceland are born with long blonde hair and pointed ears. All that money to save Downs babies is spent on plastic surgery for ears...
“people in Iceland were celebrating at an annual diversity festival.”
A diversity festival ? In ICELAND ?
Like, THE Iceland ? Way up north, where marrying and mating with non-icelanders is officially frowned upon ?
Diversity festival in one of the last highly pure countries on earth ?
My last pregnancy ended in miscarriage. Imagine the further heartbreak I experienced when another mother on my due date pregnancy board announced that she had aborted her child after discovering the baby had Down Syndrome.
I would have loved to have been given the opportunity to parent that baby.
Iceland, Where people have ice in their souls.
If you could choose your baby’s eye and hair color, would you?
Did you select your wife based on beauty?
God bless this man.
From the YouTube site
Life is full of special moments, open your eyes, open your mind and most of all, open your heart, you will see. I found this video online, I did not film it but I thought it was so special I had to put a song behind it. To me, the female Lab is trying so hard to befriend the child. The boy is cautious but curious at the same time. The person who filmed the original video contacted me in January 2013 She is the mom, her name is Ana, her son’s name is Hernan, and the dogs name is Himalaya. Watch when the dog puts her paw on the boys shoulder as if to say, I love you, everything will be ok. If your heart doesn’t melt your not human.
FYI: THE TEXT in the video was INSPIRED BY a beautiful little DS (Down Syndrome) girl I met. She said to me “God didn’t make a mistake when he made me” and her daddy told her, she was a “Gift from God”. I REPEAT THIS WAS A QUOTE FROM A LITTLE DS GIRL.
