When atheist-based ideology condemns every baby with Down Syndrome to be search and destroyed, it's a message that people with Down Syndrome should also be hunted and gassed.
Even if you don't give a fuck about people with Down Syndrome, remember that, not long ago, someone else started doing the same thing, and he-who-should-not-be-mentioned-in-mailing-lists began the pogrom by mass-murdering those with mental handicaps. Exclusion is usually irreversible, when you started excluding people from Humanity the final outcome is that only _one_ group remains. > I wonder if Sarah Palin is deliberately using her Down Syndrom pregnancy > "with four kids already, and at an age when the risk of fetal abnormalities > is massively escalated"? This is nonsense. There's no way (at least for euploid adults) to make the chance of having a Down Syndrome baby more than a ridiculously small value. Even for "very old" women the rate is still less than 5%. > By not aborting, her "moral" position has advanced > her political career.

In other words, if I am in a position, say, to accept a bribe, and I don't accept, I only do it because it will benefit me?
