Can it be true?! 90% of baby's with Down Syndrome are aborted!

Dr. Mohler discusses a horrific case out of Florida. The parents of twins decided that they would not be willing to raise a child with Down Syndrome, so they chose to have him aborted. The doctor terminated the life of his twin who did not have the genetic markers of Down Syndrome. The most excruciating aspect of the entire story was this one statistic: 80-90% of babies showing the markers for Down Syndrome are now aborted. How many people with Down Syndrome have you known in your life? How can it be that our culture has determined that this is a condition that we should eliminate from society. And why? Because there is too much work to raise a child with Down Syndrome? Because one of these lives will not "contribute" as much to society as a completely healthy one? And where does that end? What "disabilities" are bad enough to warrant the Holocaust of any child that shows a genetic predisposition to them. Please pray for our nation. Pray for our leaders who have the ability to enact real change for the lives of the unborn. Read the entirety of Dr. Mohler's article here.
