The Down Syndromed Demand for a Stop to Abortions

The Down Syndromed Demand for a Stop to Abortions

According to ACI / EWTN, the Spanish Federation for Down Syndrome protested against current abortion norms because they retain unacceptable that the law allows for an abortion when the fetus shows signs of disability.

After the announcement of the government to amend the current law regulating abortion, the organization that advocates for people with disabilities demanded that the new law give equal value to the lives of people with disabilities just as to those lives without disabilities. Recently, the Minister of Justice has ruled that legislative reform will focus on strengthening the protection of the right to life.





The desire of preventing the birth of human beings diagnosed with genetic disabilities is leading to the progressive employment of “prenatal reports”. If the report turns out unfavorable, an abortion for many is a “solution”. Such a case is presented by The Guardian. The Anglo-Saxon newspaper spread the word on the results of a scientific research study carried out by Cambridge University. The study examined the conduct of 235 teenagers during a period of 8 years starting from their pregnancy.

Some people may perceive that the option to conduct an abortion supports a woman’s independence and freedom of choice. Others may ask if society is using prenatal reports as inquiry tools to prevent the birth of physically and mentally handicapped human beings.

What are the values that are at stake during a pre-birth genetic analysis? Such values are: respect towards human existence (individual and collective), but most of all respect towards the disabled.

Moreover, a financial entity launched an ad campaign whose message is: the soul does not change. More than 100 years ago, restless soul travels around the country to help the people in need. In our company, our compromise is to destine more willingness and resources in order to improve our society.

For every 800 births, one is diagnosed with Down Syndrome in women of ages 30-34. What is curiously shocking is that there are hardly any Down Syndrome births today. This represents one of the worst crimes of humanity, since innocent, defenseless, vulnerable beings are being killed.

“My mother turned to the doctor during her second month of pregnancy. She was ordered to interrupt her pregnancy; however, she went against the doctor’s order. Seven months later, I was born. Today, 1824, at the Kärntnertortheater in Vienna, I debut my ninth symphony: my personal anthem for the joy of living, Ode to Joy”, stated Ludwig van Beethoven. (Translated by Gianna A.
