Media sites based in Ireland are reporting today that a shocking 95% of unborn Down Syndrome people are being aborted in the country now.
The Irish Times quotes a maternity hospital professor who states:
The 95 per cent who choose to travel do reach that decision themselves. We very much do not advocate for termination. The reality is that the vast majority choose to terminate. I don’t have a view on whether that is the right thing. We don’t advocate for it, that is just the lived experience.
Prior to the Referendum to Remove the Right to Life to in 2018, Down Syndrome Ireland warned against using Down Syndrome as a talking point during campaigning, saying:
This morning (January 23rd), an article appeared in the Irish Times highlighting the fact that a pro-life lobby group called Love Both is using an image of a little girl with Down syndrome on campaign pamphlets which are being distributed to households. This has come on top of a number of references appearing in the media over the past few days where campaigners on both sides of the debate are using people with Down syndrome to present their views.
This is very disrespectful to both children and adults with Down syndrome and their families. It is also causing a lot of stress to parents. People with Down syndrome should not be used as an argument for either side of this debate.
Down Syndrome Ireland believes that it is up to each individual to make their own decision about which way to vote in the upcoming referendum.
We are respectfully asking both sides of the campaign debate, all political parties and any other interested groups to stop exploiting children and adults with Down syndrome to promote their campaign views.
We would also like to remind campaigners on both sides of the debate that people with Down syndrome listen to the news and read media articles, including social media content. We ask that the tone of the debate is respectful towards all people with disabilities.
There were many voters who mistakenly believed that the referendum had something to do with maternal care for those with difficult pregnancies, however, it was always the government’s intention to bring in a UK style abortion regime, where people with disabilities were targeted as collateral damage.
In 2003, Ireland held an opening ceremony for the Special Olympics. It was one of, if not the, most impressive sporting events in Irish history. Alas, it will never be repeated. Thanks to Repeal the 8th, people with Down Syndrome are headed for extinction in Ireland as they are in Iceland and in many other pro abortion societies.
