13. I really, really hate it when the anti's use us as political footballs.

This is happening in Indiana, too. What's bizarre about this one is that it applies to Down's exclusively.

Here's the real problem:

Abortion rates after learning of a possible Down syndrome diagnosis range from 61 to 93 percent, according to a 2012 survey of abortion studies published in the journal Prenatal Diagnosis. The state does not keep statistics on reasons women seek abortion or whether aborted fetuses had been diagnosed with Down syndrome.


Sounds to me like these women are getting advice from doctors who don't have Down's, rather than adults who do, like the woman from Glee.
