Recent US studies have indicated that when Down syndrome is diagnosed prenatally, 84-91 percent of those babies will be killed by abortion. This trend is not isolated to the United States. In England, a 2004 study showed that 94 percent of babies who were diagnosed prenatally with Down syndrome were subsequently aborted.

That is an unbelievable statistic. By the way, such an adorable new picture of Tate!
..and I wonder how many of those were mis-diagnosed. I have two friends who were told that their babies would be born with downs, and neither one had it. What heartbreaking statistics.
I hope you don't mind, Alison. I copied this on my blog. Thanks for sharing.
