I have a grandson who is autistic and is serving a mission in the Family And Church History Headquarters Mission. I am incredibly happy to know that my daughter would not have aborted him even if she'd known his condition before birth. I know autism and downs syndrome are two different conditions but the principal is the same. Love them for who they are.

Thank you! This hits me on a double level! I was born with Tuners Syndrome and have led a very "normal" life. It makes me sick to think of my fellow brothers and sisters not given this chance and the sacrifice of humans children to the alter of greed and selfishness. If there is anything our Savior stood for it is helping the downtrodden. Are we not all beggars? My disorder prevents me from naturally being able to conceive and this is is the second level. Bearing children is a sacred blessing and it make me angry to see that blessing being treated as an right and worse, inconvenience.
