CHOOSE LIFE: Kentucky Committee Advances Bill to Ban Eugenic Abortions On Babies With Down Syndrome And Other Disabilities
The rate of unborn babies who are aborted after a Down syndrome
diagnosis is about 67 percent in the U.S., according to CBS News. Some
put the rate as high as 90 percent in the United States, but it is
difficult to determine the exact number because the government does not
keep detailed statistics about abortion. Indiana was the second
state to establish a safeguard to protect unborn children with Down
syndrome and other disabilities. Eight states also prohibit
sex-selection abortions prior to viability.
Kentucky lawmakers advanced another pro-life bill Wednesday to
protect unborn babies with Down Syndrome from eugenic abortion in their
state.
The founder of Planned Parenthood, Margaret Sanger, was
a firm believer in eugenics.
Sanger said “The most successful educational approach to the Negro is
through a religious appeal. We don’t want the word to get out that we
want to exterminate the Negro population, and the minister is the man
who can straighten out that idea if it ever occurs to any of their more
rebellious members.” In her autobiography she proudly recounts her
address to the women of the
Ku Klux Klan in Silver Lake, N.J., in 1926.
This winter, pro-lifers are watching the U.S. Supreme Court closely
as it considers a similar Indiana law that bans discriminatory abortions
based on an unborn baby’s race, sex or disability.
FROM LIFE NEWS: State
House Bill 5 is
one of several pro-life measures going through the state legislature
this winter. If passed, it would ban discriminatory abortions on unborn
babies based on their sex, race or disability, such as Down syndrome.
Individuals and facilities that violate the measure could have their
licenses revoked.
