« You can try to kill off everyone with Down syndrome by using abortion but you won’t be any closer to a perfect society. You will just be closer to a cruel, heartless one in my opinion. The only way to change society’s view of us is to be part of our community.(…) The UN is against abortions that target female babies because it’s harmful towards women. So, why are they ok with wiping out my future community? (…) If the United Nations is really serious about human rights then they will start to act and condemn eugenics against my community ! »
