When she got a prenatal Down syndrome diagnosis, her doctor wouldn’t stop suggesting abortion.

October 21, 2020/2 Comments/in Ableism, Uncategorized, Your Stories /by Guest Blogger

The author and her family.   Kaylen Before Kaylen, my husband Darrin and I were happy to be average—to not stick out in a good or bad way. Darrin worked as a mental health clinician in a prison; I had quit teaching after our second child and was running an in-home daycare. Our two sons […]

[The original FB post where we collected these answers can be found here. We’ve since created a FB album with more such perspectives here.] Recently, “The Good Place” star Jameela Jamil tweeted the following: Text reads: “I had an abortion when I was young, and it was the best decision I have ever made. Both for me, […]

Abortion and Disability Rights

July 16, 2018/0 Comments/in Ableism /by Guest Blogger

Every life has equal worth. However, not all lives are treated with dignity. For instance, society commonly favors the lives of non-disabled people over disabled people. This preference even appears in the debate about the legality of abortions. A common argument pro-choicers pose is that a woman should get an abortion if she is not […]

Down Syndrome Abortion and the Courts: Part II

April 24, 2018/0 Comments/in Ableism /by Kelsey Hazzard

In January, we wrote about the passage of laws against Down Syndrome abortion in North Dakota, Indiana, and Ohio, and mentioned that Indiana’s law had been struck down but was on appeal. Unfortunately, last Friday, a three-judge panel of the 7th Circuit Court of Appeal ruled against Indiana’s protection of babies with Down Syndrome. Judge Manion […]

Today, on March 21—3/21, in a nod to the third copy of chromosome 21—we celebrate World Down Syndrome Day. It’s a time to recognize the unique individuals with Down Syndrome and advocate for their inclusion in society. It’s hard to celebrate this year.

Above: Down Syndrome advocate Frank Stephens testifies before Congress Last month, Ohio passed a law to prohibit doctors from committing abortions sought in response to a prenatal diagnosis of Down Syndrome. Ohio is the third state to pass such a law. North Dakota was the first to do so; there, enforcement is made easier by […]

The Jackson Family’s Prenatal Testing Story

December 12, 2017/0 Comments/in Ableism, Your Stories /by Guest Blogger

The Jacksons always knew they wanted a large family from the beginning. Jennifer and her husband Richard have enjoyed the family lifestyle: bowling, movies, water fights, being outdoors together, and actively participating in their church. In February 2016, the Jackson family found out they’d be adding another child to their home and everyone was ecstatic! […]

Happy World Down Syndrome Day!

March 21, 2017/0 Comments/in Uncategorized /by Kelsey Hazzard

March 21 (3/21) is World Down Syndrome Day—because Down Syndrome (or as Steven of Born This Way likes to call it, Up Syndrome) is caused by a third copy of the 21st chromosome. Clever, eh?

Late term abortion and pro-choice ableism

February 6, 2017/0 Comments/in Ableism, Late-Term Abortion /by Monica Snyder

In the UK, abortion is legal up to 24 weeks typically—but in cases where the fetus has disabilities, the woman can obtain abortion at any time throughout pregnancy. Recently a UK lawmaker with disabilities, Lord Kevin Shinkwin, spoke out about this double standard: I can see from the trends in abortion on grounds of disability […]
