Down Syndrome

May the peace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with you this day.

Down Syndrome Awareness Month reminds us our need to share our experiences of connection with people with an extra chromosome

In this brief article, Maria Gallagher writes:

The young man greeted our party warmly as we walked through the door of a neighborhood restaurant. He approached his tasks with diligence and grace, and made us feel welcomed and special.

The gentleman happened to have an extra chromosome. This did not matter, and should not matter, in a civilized society which respects disability rights.

But the fact of the matter is that the abortion rate for preborn children diagnosed with Down syndrome is extraordinarily high. In fact, it is estimated that most of these precious babies are aborted.

As Gallagher reminds us, people with Down Syndrome may have an extra chromosome but they are just like you and I, human persons created in the image of God.

Join with me in the fight to end the abortion holocaust.

Please comment on my posts. I need to know what others are thinking about what I am saying.
