Another thing about children with Down Syndrome is that they have a 0% chance of becoming child-hating ultra-violent sociopath leftist vermin.
If only the leftists would show the world some mercy and kill their own worthless selves.
That statistic is shocking, but not surprising. I’ll admit that if younger, I might be scared to have a potential downs child. Now as an older parent, I recognize the blessing. It’s sad that Doctors probably encourage people to short these children.
I had no idea that the numbers were so shockingly high. I had noticed not so long ago that it seemed that the human landscape had changed, but I thought I must be imagining it. Sadly, it seems that it was not my imagination at all.
Interestingly you see most of those down’s kids in church situations.
I don’t actually know one couple with a Down’s in their family who aren’t a Christian of one stripe or another.
Touching.
Palin and Beck have both stated they learned much and got much from their special needs children. I can’t imagine the challenge or raising a child that needs far more work and attention than “normal” but I can’t imagine the rewards either. I’ll bet they love unconditionally.
I remember former Alabama football coach, Gene Stallings said they were devastated when informed their baby had Down’s Syndrome.
He said they eventually realized he was a blessing. Full of love and affection.
It’s very easy to speak of blessings when it’s someone else who spends their entire life caring for someone with Down’s Syndrome.
Our daughter and her husband were presented with the fact that their first child was Down's. They just looked at the Doctor and said, "Oh". The doctor just looked at them and said, "Do you want to abort?" Our kids basically said, "You've got to be kidding."
What goes around comes around. That daughter of ours was also a candidate for abortion because of pre testing. Because of meds that I was on, she did not have a chance of being "normal". In fact the doctor described pretty much a picture of doom. The doctor asked us how bad we wanted this baby and we told him...no matter what we wanted this baby. Well, it was a rough 9 months to get through knowing that we were to have a child that was going to be physically and mentally a mess.
Funny thing was...our daughter came out just fine. Just had minute optical nerves and had no peripheral vision. We didn't find that out until she was a freshman in high school. The Opthamalogist told us that she had adapted well and that the only things that she would have trouble doing was playing sports. Well, she was a freshman starting varsity, so I guess that really wasn't a problem. She went on to a college scholarship in basketball....and that grandson of ours that was supposed to be Down's. Well he is 9 and a star athlete in his own right. Both times the doctors were wrong.
That's why a physician friend of ours says that that is why they call it medicine cause it's not science. Doctors have 20% knowledge and 80% guesswork, according to him. He went on to say that for every group of symptoms there are many diagnoses possible. He said that there is only one Great Physician who gets it 100% of the time.
I am the happy father of a 2 year-old downs boy. He was a surprise as we did not want the tests (would not have changed anything).
The fact that 90% are murdered is incredible because their love knows no bounds.
Everyone needs to visit one of the best family blogs in the world, http://www.kellehampton.com/ She was a loving mother of one little toddler, and a great photographer, when she gave birth last Jan 2010 to a surprise - another baby girl, but this one was born with Down Syndrome.
Start where she says to Start Here and start reading. You may need Kleenex for the birth story but it’s all beautiful — deep and beautiful. I absolutely love this blog and follow it every week. I have fallen in love with her family. It is true treat to read her.
**90% of Down Syndrome Children Aborted, Survivors Bring Joy
**
These murdered children are in heaven with God.
I am so thankful for my Down Syndrome grandson. He is such a joy!
Upon moving to Georgia, I was startled to see so many more Downs kids. Says a lot about the culture vs. NY.
Very, very SAD statistic. Was just thinking about it today. Though all God’s children are precious, these children are particularly so. We are living in a brave new world.
