The head of a Dublin hospital has admitted that nearly all babies diagnosed prenatally with Down syndrome there are killed through abortion.<\/p>\n

Professor Fergal Malone is the chairman of the Departments of Obstetrics and Gynecology at the RCSI School of Medicine, as well as Master (Chief Executive Officer) of the Rotunda Hospital. According to the Irish Times<\/a>, 95% of pregnancies of children with Down syndrome at Rotunda Hospital end in abortion, even though Malone claims no one is pressured into a particular decision.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe 95 per cent who choose to travel do reach that decision themselves. We very much do not advocate for termination,\u201d he said. \u201cThe reality is that the vast majority choose to terminate. I don\u2019t have a view on whether that is the right thing. We don\u2019t advocate for it, that is just the lived experience.\u201d<\/p>\n
