#1 So it's "Down Syndrome people" now? Which, would make the selective abortion genocide?

#2 Not the kind of thing people with DS need to hear about others like themselves . . . .

It's already a "genocide" to which the holocaust pales in comparison. But it's all voluntary [unless you drink Flint River tap water], and subsidized. Think of the cost savings to the Disability Insurance Fund, not to mention the inconvenience to working mums.

#4 "When you can discover almost all the foetuses with Down Syndrome, then we are approaching a situation in which almost all of them will be aborted."
How very Asian.

#5 Next category; those likely to be born into 'white privilege' but just until the numbers gain an equitable alignment.

#6 Next category; those likely to be born into 'white privilege'

According to The Atlantic in 2014:

An African-American woman is almost five times likelier to have an abortion than a white woman, and a Latina more than twice as likely, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

The rate of abortion among American women is currently at its lowest point since Roe v. Wade, according to a recent report by the Guttmacher Institute. About 1.1 million abortions were performed in 2011, at a rate of 16.9 abortions for every 1,000 women of childbearing age, down from a peak of 29.3 per 1,000 in 1981. Since the report’s release in February, the reason why has been the subject of much debate. Its authors and abortion-rights supporters point to the increase in contraceptive use and sexual education, while anti-abortion activists counter that the decrease is a result of abstinence-only teachings and state restrictions.

Single parenting be hard. It's not for nothing that most Planned Parenthood centers are strategically located in urban centers. Big Government meeting the needs of the people.

#8 Come to the March for Life this Friday in Washington. You will hear speakers from many religions, races and walks of life.

Of course, the MSM will ignore it (again). I mean, there will probably only be 400-500 THOUSAND people there, if previous years are any example. If they mention it all, they will concentrate on the handful of counter protesters from Planned Parenthood.

#10 As pro-lifers pull on their waders
To reason and pray with the gators,
The nice people, rowing,
Throw lumps of flesh, crowing,
"Ignore those insane baby-haters!"

#11 I have a theory that DS folks occupy a niche in our civilization. Expensive yes, exasperating at times, but usually very kindly and nice. They rarely fight hard. I think they are here to bring our best instincts forward.

#12 And yeah I've wrestled with one or ten, they don't seem to carry a grudge.

#13 Well said Shipman.

#14 I have a daughter with Down syndrome, and it's not an exaggeration to say what is happening is genocide. But it's been going on for a while now. Somewhere between 88% and 92% of children like mine are murdered before birth.

It's one of the reasons that, when Liberals accuse this particular conservatarian of being a "traitor," I agree with them. It's hard to have a lot of loyalty to a society that treats the one you love most like trash to be discarded.
