It is truly heartbreaking that those who would use their Eugenics paranoia against you for not being part of their pure race, are now completely in charge of the US Federal Government. Dark days are ahead for us all. Find your refuge in the Lord and protection under Patriots, as we value Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness to all.

      "To us a person with down syndrome may look as if they were given a bad card in life, but look at them, do they not seem happy? We may see down syndrome as something negative but maybe it was a blessing for them as many of us "normal" people lack what they have and that's content with our lives."

Not quite sure where you got the idea that I'm pro-abortion, or an atheist, or solely interested in the eugenics area of science. I'm gonna go ahead and chalk that up to you assuming things, like gods existing and that they're stoked with you spouting rubbish in their name.

    Wow. Thank you so much for this. When my preborn son was screened in Surrey we were told that he was a down syndrome baby and were sent home to make a choice of terminating him. We chose to get another screening, this time at Children's in Vancouver. They confirmed he in fact looked completely fine. While we would have chosen to deliver him, even with the syndrome, it did demonstrate 2 things: the willing readiness of our system to terminate pregnancies and the ease of making errors. He is aware of his back story and thus has his own compassion for the challenged in our society.

      Thank u I’ve worked in the same field myself I’ve taken care of disabled veterans and taking care of people with disabilities and what I have found with the disabled community is that they want to always continuously harp on the fact that they are disabled how that must put a very large strain on the person with the disability and their mental health if that’s all they hear you’re disabled and you can do nothing else I looked up a statistic a couple of years ago it may have changed since then but the short version is that people with disabilities are 90 times more likely to commit suicide and that breaks my heart being somebody who has a neurological disability and the way that people like me are seen I try to look at with people disabilities you know like that not very many people look at them in and I can see that it does probably make them feel like they are seen as not just a person with a disability
