When is Abortion Racism?

John Piper on the connection between abortion and racism:




Another form of this racism is against Down Syndrome babies:
"Until this year, only pregnant women 35 and older were routinely tested to see if their fetuses had the extra chromosome that causes Down syndrome. As a result many couples were given the diagnosis only at birth. But under a new recommendation from the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, doctors have begun to offer a new, safer screening procedure to all pregnant women, regardless of age. About 90 percent of pregnant women who are given a Down syndrome diagnosis have chosen to have an abortion." (New York Times)

You don't typically have organizations like planned parenthood without some motivation for the propagation of their cause. It is obvious that underneath the "plan B" that abortion has become is a clear statement of what kind of person is not welcome in this world. It is tragic that minorities are such a target for this option but equally sad is the fact that we are now seeing less DS because they are being slaughtered at the youngest of ages.
