All children who go to Walt Disney World are quite fortunate.
Some are more fortunate than others.

Such a lack of understanding and compassion completely baffles me. Those who make the decision to abort these innocent souls clearly fail to comprehend the happiness a Down syndrome child can bring to a family, a joy I saw on display numerous times at Walt Disney World.

Under Wisconsin law, “at least 24 hours before the abortion is to be performed or induced, the physician who is to perform or induce the abortion or any other qualified physician” is required to, in person, inform the woman “that fetal ultrasound imaging and auscultation of fetal heart tone services are available that enable a pregnant woman to view the image or hear the heartbeat of her unborn child. In so informing the woman and describing these services, the physician shall advise the woman as to how she may obtain these services if she desires to do so.”

A good idea for families informed that they’re about to give birth to a baby with Down syndrome might be to watch a video featuring teens Drew Anderson and Toni Alten-Crowe who were students at Loveland High School in Cincinnati, Ohio. They have Down syndrome, and both were part of a special program in their school to help kids like them mix with others. The two inspired the program to take off and become successful and their story was told in a recent TV episode.
Anderson and Alten-Crowe make my Hall of Fame llist, but I also want to give special recognition to Eileen Haupt and Leticia Velasquez, moms of Down syndrome children who founded KIDS, Keep Infants with Down Syndrome. God bless them for the work they do.
And finally, a young baby girl with Down syndrome recently captured the hearts and imagination of the world. Little Taya Kennedy now has her own modeling agency because her parents envisioned, not a less than imperfect child, but one that is precious and yes, beautiful.
