Two Healthy Babies are Miscarried for Every Three Down's Syndrome Babies Detected and Prevented from Being Born
With thanks to Fr Tim Finegan
Do I have a death wish? Possibly, but frankly it is worth it.
Let us call the recent drive to encourage a method of "search and destroy" for unborn children with Down's Syndrome what it is. Eugenics. When it was discovered in the post-war period that Hitler wanted to do something akin to this, namely, creating a super race (let us remember that he even saw merely being of Jewish blood as a disease, such was his murderous delusion) everyone condemned his motives outright.
So, let's get this straight. For every three Down's Syndrome babies detected and "prevented from being born," there is now "concern" that healthy babies may mistakenly being "prevented from being born," as a result of the tests. So, this "concern" does not extend to the babies with Downs Syndrome, because they are not, what? Human? The "concern" does not extend to the babies with Downs Syndrome because they somehow, what? Don't matter? But healthy babies do?!
How insulting that is to people who suffer from Down's Syndrome, alive today in the flesh, all of whom live valuable human lives!
Try telling that to the boy pictured above, who apparently goes to Mass every week at the Birmingham Oratory! When it comes to this child's right to life, Fr Tim says, "You could tell me that Damien's life is not worth living or you could start trying to chew a brick. Either way you will lose some teeth."
From the Daily Telegraph. Here is the full article.
