"Before abortion was legalized with a national referendum, it was a common sight to see people with Down syndrome everywhere in Ireland. "

"Tragically, as soon as the referendum on abortion passed, and the law allowed prenatal testing and abortion for genetic anomalies, women in Ireland rejected their unborn babies with Down syndrome at the same rate as the rest of Europe."

This is what I wanted you all to take notice of.

Seems the world hates Down Syndrome babies. No sooner did Ireland get abortion on demand they went after the Down Syndrome babies first.

I really detest this.

We have known many Downs kids and others with severe cognitive issues. My wife served as a board member for the largest facility that assists adults and their families with these types of issues. That said, knowing the actual difficulties trying to take care of such a child for their entire lives is daunting. No one who has not been through this type of challenge has a clue as to how much of a burden this type of situation creates.

So, although these numbers are horrific, they are certainly no surprise if you look at the current generations that are now in their childbearing years. This is especially the case because most people in our society put off having kids until they are in their 30s and beyond. Both my wife and her sister were born when their mother was in their 40s and that was in the late 1950s. But the trend has gotten much more prevalent at least for most demographics.

The chance of having a Downs kid when the mother is in her 40s are much greater when the mother is younger. A woman aged 25 has a chance of 1 in 2500 of conceiving a downs baby. When she is 40 it is 1 in 100, by the time she is 45 the chances increase to 1 in 30.

My wife and I have known many women who at around age 40 decided they wanted to have a baby. Even the most pi0us of those would likely to choose to have an abortion rather than facing a future of spending their elderly years trying to take care of a young adult with Down’s Syndrome.

From the pro-abort point of view, this is a good thing.
Exactly what they want and totally open about it.

We have a friend we met at the City Market grocery store where she works. She has Downs. She was put on cart duty at first. Then she became a checker. Now she manages the advertising sign placement throughout the store. She has moved ahead of some “normal” people who have worked there for many years, including one lady who proudly told me she has been a checker for 26 years.

Few people live life with such whole-hearted gusto, expressing their joy without reservation as those who have an extra copy of Chromosome 21. They lack the fear of the disapproval of others, of not being ‘cool,’ and thus are free to express their joy without reservations.
