The IDSC For Life believes ALL life is precious. Many of us are parents of individuals who happen to have Down syndrome. Most of us learned of the high termination rate of babies in utero, when our children were born. Some of us found out that our children had Down syndrome while we were pregnant, and were pressured to abort the baby. Some of us realized the extent to which the abortion issue is used by those who want to “clean out” the gene pool.
What ever our path, it led us to turn to advocacy groups to ask them what they were doing about the termination rate of children who happen to have Down syndrome. Unfortunately, the National Down Syndrome Society, the National Down Syndrome Congress, and the ARC, who all advocate for individuals who happen to have Down syndrome, informed all of us, that they had a position “to not have a position.”
