Patricia Heaton is outraged by a recent CBS report about Iceland.

CBS reported Sunday that the majority of expecting mothers in the country or “close to 100 percent” who received a positive test for Down syndrome “terminated their pregnancy.”

*snip*

"Iceland isn't actually eliminating Down Syndrome. They're just killing everybody that has it. Big difference," she [Heaton] wrote.

Wow. There still are some folks in Hollywood who are brave enough to tell the truth. But this is not Ronald Reagan's Hollywood anymore. I wonder how long it will be before Heaton is declared an unperson.

For those not in the know, Patricia Heaton was the wife on the hit TV series "Everybody Loves Raymond".

“The Middle” is a good show but it gets very little promotion from ABC compared to say...”Blackish” or “Modern Family.”

I think we can all draw our own conclusions.

And yet Liberals keep telling us that they don't believe in Nazi doctrines like Eugenics.

Someone needs to run a news story about how much better it will be when mothers abort children that are discovered to have a homosexual gene. Liberal heads would explode.

Oh, yes, I forgot about that. I guess “The Middle” will be cancelled now, just like Tim Allen’s “Last Man Standing” was.

She’s been up front about her political views for a very long time now...and still gets work. She doesn’t take crap from anyone.

I am against abortion but according to the left I am a NAZI....

Except the NAZIs would have loved to abort what they termed as "defectives".... Hell, they killed "defectives" AFTER THEY WERE BORN....

But according to the left anyone who is pro-life is a NAZI and the media propagates that blatant LIE.

Remember History...

Perhaps the Left's war on history is for more sinister aims....

Probably because you didn't search for the title under "titles".

“patriciaheaton” will not come up in a keyword search unless someone puts it in the keyword list.

A REAL Women!

Women is plural, that means more than one.

Woman is singular, that means just one.

Derp.

I always tell liberals that I’m not opposed to liberals, blacks, and Hispanics aborting their children. Feel free, is what I say. It’s always an easy troll.

But lately I think I might actually mean it.

My daughter was at risk for having a Down’s Syndrome baby. She told me after having the test that she couldn’t terminate the pregnancy if the test came back positive. Thankfully she wasn’t faced with that decision.
