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.
I have a second cousin that is Down Syndrome. His mom, dad and siblings will all tell you that he has been the greatest blessing to their family, and I can attest to that extending beyond their immediate family. Roger is such a wonderful witness to God’s infinite wisdom and love; his faith is rock-solid and he is outspoken about God’s saving.
Thanks for sharing this. More people need to know the truth about Down Syndrome.
