President Donald Trump has once again demonstrated his support for the pro-life campaign by condemning abortion of children with Down Syndrome.
As the US President publicly acknowledged the Down Syndrome Awareness Month for the third year in a row, he not only condemned abortion but also urged people against discriminatory behavior towards people with Down Syndrome.
“We thank individuals with Down syndrome for their incredible contributions to their families, their communities, and our great Nation, and we pledge to empower them to achieve their full potential,” Mr. Trump said according to LifeSiteNews.
“My administration also renews its commitment to bring attention to and a deeper understanding of the challenges these remarkable Americans face, including their struggle against discrimination.
“Those thought to have Down syndrome also risk being subjected to the too-often terminations of their lives before birth.”
In addition, the president claimed that people with intellectual disabilities should have the same rights as the rest and have to be “embraced in schools, workplaces, and communities.”
“Every human life possesses immeasurable value, and my Administration will continue to embrace and defend the inherent truth that all of God’s children should be loved and cherished,” Trump added.
“This month is an important opportunity for Americans to reaffirm our commitment to creating a society that better appreciates and respects the dignity of life at all of its beautiful and miraculous stages.
“We must devote our efforts to ensure that the United States continues to exhibit reverence for human life — both born and unborn.”
With the upcoming elections drawing near, Trump has once again made it clear that he is “strongly pro-life.”
“This is a baby that’s born. Nobody’s ever heard anything like that. Nobody’s ever seen anything like it. Nobody’s ever seen anything like it…” he said at a July rally, striking back at Democratic party who promoted late-term abortion.
“What happened to our values? Republicans believe that every life is a sacred gift of God. And that’s why I’ve asked Congress to prohibit extreme late-term abortion of babies.”
