| U.S. Senator Says Aborting Babies with Down Syndrome Is ‘Eugenics' |
| 2021-02-02 |
| [Breitbart] Targeting babies with Down syndrome for abortion is "the most lethal kind of discrimination imaginable," Senator Steve Daines (R-MT) declared this week. Speaking with Catholic News Agency (CNA), Sen. Daines, the Senate pro-life caucus chair, noted that "babies with Down syndrome are the most endangered on Earth" because of the frequency with which they are singled out for abortion. "This is eugenics, and we cannot allow this to continue in our country," Daines said in the interview published on January 31. Daines is a cosponsor of the Protecting Individuals with Down Syndrome Act, sponsored by Sen. James Inhofe (R-OK), which would ban a doctor from performing an abortion being sought because the unborn child has Down syndrome. While the legislation would not penalize the expectant mother in any way, it would enact a federal ban on the performance of an abortion with the knowledge that a pregnant woman is seeking an abortion, in whole or in part, on the basis of a belief that her unborn child has Down syndrome. |

| #10 Grom: Why say "prospective" parents? Does the child have some other set of parents? The parents do not consider themselves to be parents b/c the child is unwanted, yet they are. Women who abort do not see themselves as mothers simply because the child is unwanted ('planned parenthood' indeed). Remember the unborn. Jesus protect and save the unborn. |

| #7 There are plenty of stories out there of Down Syndrome babies going on to become productive adults. They may not be rocket scientists but their lives have value. I believe it is a sin to kill them because of their disability. |
