Good grief, killing unborn babies with Down Syndrome is insane.

My nephew has Down’s and he is probably the favorite nephew of all. Everyone loves him and his mother even went so far as to say that every family should have a Down’s kid. A friend of mine has a Down’s boy who just turned 20. They always had high expectations for him, required a lot from him and babied him as little as possible. He flourishes and recently graduated from home school, is working through our county office to get a job at Home Depot or Lowes and helps his Dad on construction jobs...as much as he is able. I watched him show his market hog at the 4H show in August and you won’t find a more honest, hard-working, conscientious, likeable kid. Everyone loves him.

Another family I know has a Down’s kid who is undisciplined and bratty because his parents never held him to any standard and always babied him...so he is a handful and always will be. He is rude, has no manners and not many people want to be around him.

I shop frequently at the ‘handicap’ thrift store..as we call it. And, my favorite people there are the Down’s people. Wonderful, happy people, mostly.
