Abortion

As a prolifer I don't understand why anyone would take a life but this really irks me. This abortion clinic is giving $20 off your first visit! What's next...buy 2 get one free?!

This clinic site has a young woman wearing a shirt that says "I had an abortion." Seriously, how can one be proud of that? I guess I better get out my "I didn't have an abortion" shirt.

A little over a year ago a clinic nearby opened. When they presented themselves to the board they called themselves the "Gemini Office Development". Obviously they were trying to hide something. Sick sick sick.

There's A Hole In My Bucket?

An elderly Chinese woman had two large pots, each hung on the ends of a pole which she carried across her neck. One of the pots had a crack in it while the other pot was perfect and always delivered a full portion of water. At the end of the long walks from the stream to the house, the cracked pot arrived only half full. For a full two years this went on daily, with the woman bringing home only one and a half pots of water. Of course, the perfect pot was proud of its accomplishments. But the poor cracked pot was ashamed of its own imperfection, and miserable that it could only do half of what it had been made to do. After two years of what it perceived to be bitter failure, it spoke to the woman one day by the stream. 'I am ashamed of myself, because this crack in my side causes water to leak out all the way back to your house.' The old woman smiled, 'Did you notice that there are flowers on your side of the path, but not on the other pot's side?' 'That's because I have always known about your flaw, so I planted flower seeds on your side of the path, and every day while we walk back, you water them.' 'For two years I have been able to pick these beautiful flowers to decorate the table. Without you being just the way you are, there would not be this beauty to grace the house.'

It's about time there be a law making sure doctors give accurate and up to date information!!!

It still boggles my mind that ~90% of women who have a prenatal diagnosis of Down syndrome terminate their pregnancies. I just don't get it. Their loss I guess.

I started this blog because I want people to know people with Down syndrome have a life worth living!
I don't think living a life with Down syndrome is easy but then again I don't think life in general is easy for anyone. Everyone's life has it's ups and downs. People with Down syndrome are people just like you and I with real feelings, emotions, dreams and goals!
