As far back as the 1980's, I read about a survey of pediatricians in which 3/4 said they would abort if knew they were going to have a Down Syndrome Child.

Randy Alcorn shares about the content in his book Why Pro-Life?, and talks about how important it is for all of us to speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves.
