UK to change laws around Down syndrome abortions.

The Issue

As a person who has two brothers with Down syndrome that have filled my life with happiness and joy I really find it disgusting that abortions of these incredible people can happen when the baby is at full term. 
Unlike “normal” pregnancies that can only be terminated at 24 weeks. UK government has ignored the UNs recommendations to change the law but didn’t take them into account. 
the legislation protecting this inhuman law is 53 years old and now it’s time for a change. 
judgement based on diagnoses eliminates the beauty and ability the extra chromosome Down syndrome children have can bring to many people’s life’s. 
Down syndrome children deserve to live I hope you believe this to. It’s time parliament and leaders do there parliamentary duty and change this old, disgusting and down right discriminatory law.

when judgement is based on a diagnosis you miss the extra beauty and ability the extra chromosome can bring. Down syndrome children deserve to live. They all can bring so much to people’s life’s. We don’t need a cure for Down syndrome we just need people to understand there’s nothing to be afraid off.
