Where Have All The Downs Syndrome Children Gone

I read an interesting article on a woman from England who found out the son she was carrying would have Downs Syndrome when she was 35 weeks along. The pressure to abort was tremendous. Thankfully, she and her husband loved the child unconditionally and had already named him so they weren't swallowing all the "concern" that the doctors and nurses were showering them with.

An interesting statistic from the article said that 62% of Downs Syndrome children are diagnosed before birth and 92% of those diagnosed are aborted.

God have mercy on us.
