Feminists can spin it any way they want, but more times than not, abortion is a matter of convenience to them. They’d love for you to believe it’s almost always a life or death situation (which is an absurd description in itself, because it’s ALWAYS a death situation for the baby), but it’s not. Most of these people are in favor of aborting babies with disabilities, like Down syndrome. NOTHING gets my blood boiling quicker. How completely heartless and selfish do you have to be to look those precious people in the eye and tell them their life isn’t worth anything? It takes a SPECIAL kind of sick individual. That brings me to this.
Earlier this month, two speakers with Down syndrome spoke before the UN, calling for the organization to take action against the mass slaughter of Down syndrome babies.
Check out John Franklin Stephens’ remarks. I adore him.
Stephens began by easing tensions with a joke about his extra chromosomes giving him a “little bit uncommon” appearance — “in my case, uncommonly handsome.” From there, he stated simply that he was an individual who should be seen “as a human being, not a birth defect.” People like him, he said, need not be “eradicated” or “cured” but rather loved, valued, educated, and sometimes helped.”
He explained that such help should take the form of early training for parents of Down syndrome babies, medical care such as eye exams and glasses, job training to help become self-sufficient, and ultimately to hold them to the same standards as everyone else.
“I was included in ordinary classes; the common kids and I learned from each other,” Stephens pointed out. Most importantly, he said “expect competence, not failure.”
He continued:
His remarks took on a serious edge when he warned that the world’s Down populations are also the “canary in the eugenics coal mine,” an opportunity to reflect on how far societies are willing to go to exterminate so-called undesirable populations.
“How would the world react if a nation proclaimed that it would use genomic testing to make itself ‘Unpopular ethnic minority free’ by 2030?” Stephens asked, referencing Iceland and Denmark’s expectations to be “Down syndrome-free” within 10 years. “The U.N. has a name for this, but we need not go there.”
“I truly believe a world without people like me will be a poorer world, a colder world, a less happy world,” Stephens said.
He’s right.
Charlotte Fien also spoke about the threat abortion poses on the Down syndrome community.
However, she focused more on the threat of abortion to the community. “A mother’s womb is the most dangerous place for babies with Down syndrome,” she said. “As long as people with Down syndrome are kept out of mainstream society, we will be feared, not accepted, and aborted into extinction.”
“The UN is against abortions that target female babies because it’s harmful towards women,” Fien pointed out. “So why are they OK with wiping out my future community?”
So powerful. She blasted one UN delegate in particular: Ben Achour. As Life Site News points out, he has “advocated for doing ‘everything we can to avoid’ ‘handicaps’ such as Down syndrome, including aborting babies diagnosed with the condition ‘as a preventative measure.'”
“How is that not eugenics?” she asked. How is that acceptable to target a group of human beings for extinction? Is that not what genocide is? To get rid of an entire group of people?”
“You can try to kill off everyone with Down syndrome by using abortion, but you won’t be any closer to a perfect society,” Fien declared. “You will just be closer to a cruel heartless one.”
Let ’em HAVE it, Charlotte.
Share this far and wide. Pro-abortion feminists need to see this. There’s no way you can listen to their testimonies and not rethink you’re entire pro-abortion stance.
