The latest video<\/a> in Live Action\u2019s \u201cPro-Life Replies\u201d<\/a> series counters the claim that babies with disabilities are better off aborted. Stories of parents pressured<\/a> by medical professionals and others to abort their children after a prenatal diagnosis are sadly not uncommon. These doctors offering abortion as a “solution” to a child with a disability typically are not experts in the conditions with which those children have been diagnosed. Therefore, information that parents receive is often outdated and inaccurate<\/a>. Many parents who are told their children will either not survive — or will have no quality of life even if they do — find themselves feeling pressured and overwhelmed. Asking experts in the conditions can enlighten those parents — and who better to ask than the people living with those conditions themselves?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In Live Action’s new video, Karen Gaffney, a woman with Down syndrome, describes her life and what makes her “different” than others, but certainly no less worthy of life — and some of it may surprise you.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
