Dismaying

Get a load of this statistic from a George Will column:

In Britain, more babies with Down syndrome are aborted than are allowed to be born. In America, more than 80 percent of the babies diagnosed prenatally with Down syndrome are aborted.

I can't express how disturbing this is. Parents killing off their own flesh and blood because that child doesn't meet their expectations, because they're not perfect. This is where abortion on demand has led us. What right do parents have to determine that some lives are desirable and others are not? Seriously, where do they think this "right" to kill off their kin comes from? They are literally killing persons because they are not perfect. Does this sound familiar?
