Human Rights Day 2016: December 10 
27 times as many people are killed by abortion than by all other forms of violence combined. Babies especially at risk of being aborted are those with issues like Down syndrome, which can be diagnosed in utero.

France recently banned the television ad below, which depicts happy, well-adjusted children with Down syndrome on the grounds that it may disturb women who aborted their babies because of DS diagnoses. In France, about 80% of all pregnancies carrying a child with Down syndrome end in abortion.
