I read an article where a young couple in the United States decided to abort their unborn child. The reason? Prenatal testing revealed the possibility of their child being born with Down Syndrome. The couple are now receiving death threats over their decision and course of action. What would you do? Here’s what I have to say as the father of an Autistic child.
** I’m not here to condemn nor confirm this couple’s decision. It’s not for me, the Internet, or the government to make choices of this magnitude for others. This discussion is merely designed to invoke thought.
Let’s consider these statistics during the talk: It is estimated that 60 percent to 90 percent of children diagnosed with Down syndrome are aborted in the U.S., compared to 18 percent of all pregnancies ending in abortion.
