Abortion, Down Syndrome, and the Image of God
According to the Global Down Syndrome Foundation, "approximately 67 percent of babies diagnosed with Down syndrome are aborted." This number is far too high. To think that the world could have over twice as many individuals with Down syndrome as it does at this moment is something that should be fought for, embraced, and encouraged, for individuals with Down syndrome are people made in God's Image, too. If I were ever asked for advice concerning the abortion of a baby diagnosed with this genetic syndrome, the Image of God and the sanctity of human life would be my resting place.
