I have always found the people of New York to be \u201cextremely\u201d accepting, kind, and accommodating to my daughter Chloe, and New York City is a priority destination when we plan family excursions.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\" align=\"center\"><span style=\"line-height: 1.5em;\"><!--more--><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Every fall season in New York City, there is an amazing video presentation sponsored by the NDSS (National Down Syndrome Society) on the big screen in Times Square featuring the brilliant faces and abilities of individuals with Down syndrome. My daughter Chloe has been included twice in this video, and the experience is \u201cextremely\u201d magical and unparalleled for all people in attendance. These human beings who were once \u201cexcluded\u201d from schools, communities, and cultural events because of intolerant views are showcased on the big screen in the Big Apple \u2013 truly priceless!<\/p>\n<p>Many people in our society fail to realize that 90%+ of individuals diagnosed prenatally with Down syndrome are targeted and eliminated by an irrational culture that views them as \u201cflawed\u201d \u2013 the ultimate \u201cextreme\u201d intolerance and prejudice. What would the response be from the governor of NY and mayor of NYC if an autism, obesity, depression, ADHD, or shortness genetic link were discovered and then utilized to eliminate these individuals prenatally because of misguided cultural views?<\/p>\n<p>Would \u201cextreme\u201d pro-life advocates who protested the slaughter of these \u201cdiffering\u201d unborn individuals be unwelcome in the state of New York? Would there be \u201cextreme\u201d outrage and protests across our nation and in New York? New York should be the foundation and center for human inclusion, both prenatal and postnatal.<\/p>\n<p>I live in the great state of Pennsylvania, and as a tolerant, accepting, loving person I would like to invite the governor of New York and mayor of NYC to visit my state and look into the eyes of my daughter Chloe &#8211; to see her \u201cextreme\u201d beauty, unconditional love, purity and ABILITIES. Chloe will honestly tell you she \u201cloves New York,\u201d and hopefully she is still welcome to visit the Big Apple. My wish and prayer is that one day soon, all \u201cextremely\u201d tolerant people will embrace and accept the most valuable treasure we have as a nation \u2013 human life.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I recently read that the governor of New York and mayor of New York City are intolerant to having pro-life people in their state, and they referred to these LIFE views as \u201cextreme.\u201d I am a pro-life father of two precious children, and my beautiful daughter Chloe was born with Down syndrome in 2003.
