We don't have to fake concern for babies with Down Syndrome, because we live the real thing. Our agenda is to offer women in unintended pregnancies real options, not just death for their babies. We've been helping women, for free, since the mid-60s. I challenge you, Liz, to seek out a young, prolife Republican woman and speak with her. Yes, we do exist, and many of us are still of childbearing age! Doesn’t sound as though Liz has actually spoken with any actual Republicans.

There was actually three democrats and one independent that held this up. This is a bi-partisan measure that many support because it promotes accurate and balanced information -- nothing political or wrong about that..... What is wrong is when a doctor tells expecting parents that a disability equals a dismal existence and nothing else... -- Republican, working mother to three (one of whom happens to have T 21) To the previous comment: it’s dangerous to make assumptions, especially ones that are uninformed.

Instead they trumpet this fake concern for fetuses with Downs not because they care about people living with Downs but because it is on their agenda to deny women the right to have abortions at all. It burns me up. I don’t see the Republicans, or most politicians for that matter, bothering to listen to people living with disabilities — their constituents and voters.
