I’m not afraid of Down syndrome. Instead, I’m afraid of what my life might have been had we not been given my little girl Josie. She’s perfect.
When most parents hear a prenatal Down syndrome diagnosis, they’re afraid. They’re afraid of what it might mean for their child, and what it might mean for themselves.I’m not afraid of Down syndrome. Instead, I’m afraid of what my life might have been had we not been given my little girl Josie. She has an extra copy of chromosome 21. She’s perfect.
Later, I walked through Central Park with the rest of this year’s Buddy Walk participants. I carried her, just like I had done at last year’s walk. And just like last year, she quickly fell asleep on my chest. I walked and I thought about her life. I reflected on all the joy she’s brought those who know her or meet her. I walked and I thought about how many babies with Down syndrome are aborted: around 67%, though the estimated range is wide and difficult to track.
But these difficulties shouldn’t be a death sentence. They’re just difficulties — and we can either choose to fear them, or to overcome them. Yet under the guise of 'women’s health care' or 'women’s rights,' pro-abortionists have convinced vast swaths of the American public that it’s OK to kill babies like Josie. In fact, many of those who abort babies diagnosed with Down syndrome consider it a 'mercy killing.' I don’t just mourn for those lost children.
will never forget seeing her face in Times Square. I will never forget holding her close and safe, surrounded by a nationwide community of her biggest cheerleaders, in a state where people like her are so frequently aborted. I will never forget watching her dance in a room of mirrors, surrounded by the New York skyline at One Vanderbilt Avenue. But without her, there would be nothing to remember at all.
