Trump Takes a Stand Affirming Down Syndrome Babies
WhiteHouse.gov issued an official presidential statement commemorating Down Syndrome Month and affirming the right to life.
The statement reads, “All people are endowed by their Creator with dignity and the rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Despite some persistent myths and stigmas, even within the medical community, our Nation strongly embraces the undeniable truth that a Down syndrome diagnosis is an opportunity to embrace God’s gifts.”
Between 70 and 90% of preborn babies diagnosed with Down Syndrome are aborted in this country.
Psalm 139:13-16 testifies “Oh Lord, You formed my inward parts; You knitted me together in my mother’s womb. I praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Wonderful are Your works; my soul knows it very well. My frame was not hidden from You, when I was being made in secret, intricately woven in the depths of the earth. Your eyes saw my unformed substance;
all the days ordained for me were written in Your book before one of them came to be.”
