Watch: Of This Group Of Americans, 90% Are Being Killed. This Man Is Determined To Stop It

Approximately 6,000 babies are born with Down syndrome in the U.S. every year. This number would be much higher, but 90 percent of babies who are diagnosed with Down syndrome in the womb are aborted.

Pregnant women can get a screening done that will tell them the likelihood of their child having Down syndrome. Despite the fact that the screenings are not one hundred percent accurate, and the fact that there are hundreds of families on waiting lists wanting to adopt a child with Down syndrome, many expectant mothers choose to end the life of their child after being told there is a high probability they will be born with special needs.

Doctors are not helping. One study found that almost a quarter of physicians actively encourage abortion of children with Down syndrome or emphasize the negative aspects of raising a child with special needs. Less than a third of them actually give the mothers educational materials to help them make an informed decision.

If people were made aware of the facts, perhaps their minds would change. In one study, 99 percent of parents said they loved their child with Down syndrome; and 97 percent said they were proud of their child. Seventy-nine percent said their outlook on life was more positive because of their child with Down syndrome.

I believe you’re right. I’ve worked with several Down Syndrome people and they were some of the kindest and most caring people I’ve ever met.

You are truly blessed.

Wow .. this is great news. I’m surprised nobody is making more noise about this.

Sadly, people are waiting longer to get married and have children.

I think it’s the same phenomena as public perception of violent crime. The MSM hypes it up so much most people think America if more violent than ever. But the fact is that violent crime is way down compared to 20 years ago. Politicians are guilty of it too. You can’t manipulate the electorate with good news as easily as you can with bad news.

Is that true about the March of Dimes?

They've been denying it for years. Check with your local Right To Life group.

I found an article by lifesitenews that exposes their links to eugenics and also their grants to Planned Parenthood.
I’ll double check, but if true that’s plenty enough for me.

I agree .. but in my own community, San Diego, we had a brief flare-up (college students) .. and since then I’ve not seen anything on the news about any more “protests”, etc.

I think maybe .. the fact that the CHP showed up and disbursed the group (who were clogging up a major highway), sent a chill through the community and nobody has dared challenge the CHP again.
