UN sponsors first World Down Syndrome Day: greatest threat is abortion

LifeSiteNews.com: Pro-life activists say they are thrilled that the UN is sponsoring its first World Down Syndrome Day, which will be celebrated at UN Headquarters in New York on March 21, with the focal point of the day being a conference titled “Building Our Future.”

Diane Grover, co-founder of the International Down Syndrome Coalition for Life, pointed out that the greatest challenge facing people with Down syndrome “is actually being born.” She said that she hopes the international celebration will draw attention to the extremely high abortion rate for children with Downs.
