Canadian Doctor Worries That Fewer Down Syndrome Babies Will Be Aborted

I hope that few people share his concern.

Dr. Andre Lalonde, executive vice president of the Society of Obstetricians and Gynecologists in Ottawa, worries that Palin’s now renowned decision may cause abortions in Canada to decline as other women there and elsewhere opt to follow suit.

He says not every woman is prepared to deal with the consequences of Down babies, who have developmental delays, some physical difficulties and often a shortened lifespan.

So… we should terminate them. Good idea.

Who put this guy in charge… of anything?
