Last year around the World Down Syndrome Day, we made the documents from our past international legal actions publicly available.
It was such a nice way to offer an insight into the heart of our mission both to our new & our long time supporters.

A society’s mission should be to assist the most vulnerable people how to live and not how to die.

People in wheelchairs openly weeping, here outside of Parliament. The atmosphere is one of profound sadness and terror. A dark cloud has descended over the UK. #AssistedDyingBill

🚨DR UK's Statement on Passing of Assisted Dying Bill
We stand firmly against a law that risks pressuring Disabled people into decisions driven by lack of options rather than genuine choice. This bill could reinforce the narrative that Disabled people’s lives are less valuable.
ALT Disability Rights UK is deeply dismayed by the passing of the second reading by MPs of the Assisted Dying Bill with a majority of 55 in Parliament. This decision comes as a profound betrayal to Disabled people across the UK, who continue to struggle to live with dignity in a society that fails to meet even their most basic needs. At a time when social care is chronically underfunded, accessible housing is scarce, and many Disabled people are unable to afford food, energy, or other essentials, this legislation sends a chilling message: the government prioritises the right to die over the right to live. We stand firmly against a law that risks pressuring Disabled people into decisions driven by fear, desperation, or lack of options rather than genuine choice. This legislation could deepen inequalities and reinforce societal biases that view Disabled people’s lives as less valuable. FULL ON WEBSITE
Mr. Crowder obviously does not think a little representation for kids from one of the most vulnerable communities in the world systemically targeted for eugenic extermination, is good.
Oh, and also, apparently, nobody told him the R word is a deeply harmful and ignorant slur.

Disproportionately high rates of disability-selective abortion are not simply the result of parents carefully considering their full range of options and freely choosing to abort. 1/
“There is little less inclusive than perpetuating a form of ableism by singling out babies with disabilities for abortion.”

‘A Beautiful Person’: 11 Parents of Children with Down Syndrome Speak Out link.medium.com/02FlAPpx1wb
“Parenting should not be about moulding the ‘perfect child’ but being open to being profoundly changed. The parent–child with a disability relationship offers particular opportunities to find new meanings and values in life.”
'This analysis is offered as another dimension to the debates over pre-natal testing. It is not intended as an argument against such testing, but rather raises concerns about some of the broader attitudes around it.' tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.…
On point.
