The nephew of one of my fellow Knights of Columbus was diagnosed with Downs Syndrome in the womb. The doctor suggested abortion. The mother refused. Three years ago he was the Valedictorian at St. Anslem’s college.

Reading the article I was wondering if “congenital heart defect” was code for “Downs Syndrome”....

My wife was told one of our children had an increased chance for Down’s Syndrome based on something from a sonogram, and encouraged to terminate the pregnancy. She wouldn’t (she wouldn’t even get that test with the needle that sometimes causes miscarriages), we aged several years in four months thinking about how difficult things would be, and she delivered a totally healthy baby.

We have different doctor now; I sincerely believe that this is a sanitized version of the sterilization abuse that doctors used to save the world decades ago.
