See “Help,” page 11 Editorials “What kind of society do you want to live in?” October is Down Syndrome Awareness Month. “During October,” The Jerome Lejeune Foundation says, “we applaud caregivers, families, and medical professionals -- but most of all, we applaud all the wonderful people with Down syndrome.” A French geneticist, Dr. Lejeune, a devout Catholic and pro-lifer, discovered the genetic cause of Down syndrome. Tragically that discovery has been used and continues to be used to search out and destroy children prenatally identified as having a full or partial extra copy of chromosome 21. However in 2017, we could say that the real Down Syndrome Awareness Month took place in August. For it was on August 15 that “CBS News: On Assignment [www.cbsnews.com/amp/news/ down-syndrome-iceland] aired a 10-minute story on Iceland-- “’What kind of society do you want to live in?’: Inside the country where Down syndrome is disappearing”--as chilling a mini- documentary as you will ever watch.

  • Abortion in the Early Medieval West, C.500-900
    „Alienated from the womb‟: abortion in the early medieval West, c.500-900 Zubin Mistry University College, London PhD Thesis 2011 1 I, Zubin Mistry, confirm that the work presented in this thesis is my own. Where information has been derived from other sources, I confirm that this has been indicated in the thesis. Signed: 2 ABSTRACT This thesis is primarily a cultural history of abortion in the early medieval West. It is a historical study of perceptions, rather than the practice, of abortion. The span covered ranges from the sixth century, when certain localised ecclesiastical initiatives in the form of councils and sermons addressed abortion, through to the ninth century, when some of these initiatives were integrated into pastoral texts produced in altogether different locales. The thesis uses a range of predominantly ecclesiastical texts – canonical collections, penitentials, sermons, hagiography, scriptural commentaries, but also law- codes – to bring to light the multiple ways in which abortion was construed, experienced and responded to as a moral and social problem. Although there is a concerted focus upon the ecclesiastical tradition on abortion, a focus which ultimately questions how such a tradition ought to be understood, the thesis also explores the broader cultural significance of abortion. Early medieval churchmen, rulers, and jurists saw multiple things in abortion and there were multiple perspectives upon abortion. The thesis illuminates the manifold and, occasionally, surprising ways in which abortion was perceived in relation to gender, sexuality, politics, theology and the church. The history of early medieval abortion has been largely underwritten. Moreover, it has been inadequately historicised.

Case No. 4:19-cv-00449-KGB LESLIE RUTLEDGE, in her official capacity as Attorney General of the State of Arkansas, et al., DEFENDANTS. RESPONSE IN OPPOSITION TO PLAINTIFFS’ MOTION FOR A PRELIMINARY INJUNCTION OR TEMPORARY RESTRAINING ORDER This case concerns three commonsense abortion regulations. The first requires abortion practitioners—like other specialized physicians—to meet minimal competency standards. The second prohibits the horrifying eugenic practice of killing unborn children merely because of an indication of Down Syndrome. And the third regulates violent late-term abortion practices. Each regulation benefits society, mothers, and the medical profession in a myriad of ways while imposing no real (or legally cognizable) burden on abortion access. Nor do Plaintiffs even attempt to demonstrate that the various phantom burdens conjured in their declarations and purportedly backed by creative accounting outweigh—let alone substantially—the challenged regulations’ undisputed benefits. Moreover, it is particularly revealing that it is neither mothers nor prospective mothers who bring this challenge. Rather, it is abortion practitioners dedicated to ensuring their industry remains the least regulated in America that seek extraordinary preliminary relief. Abortion is a dangerous business.

    NOTE “IS DOWN ALWAYS OUT?”: THE RIGHT OF ICELANDIC PARENTS TO USE PREIMPLANTATION GENETIC DIAGNOSIS TO SELECT FOR A DISABILITY Kalena R. Kettering ABSTRACT This Note assesses the recent backlash surrounding the near eradica- tion of Down syndrome in Iceland. First, it discusses the various ways in which genetic counseling has played a role in the increased termination of pregnancies with a risk of chromosomal abnormalities. Next, it fo- cuses specifically on preimplantation genetic diagnosis (PGD) as a ge- netic testing solution to avoid the hardship of pregnancy and subsequent abortion. This Note also considers the use of PGD to intentionally select for a disability, especially with disabilities linked with strong cultures and language such as deafness and achondroplasia. It then compares PGD regulation abroad and PGD regulation in Iceland. This Note argues that current regulation of PGD in Iceland impermis- sibly infringes on the right to privacy, property, and the right to refuse medical treatment held by prospective parents in Iceland. As a result, prospective parents in Iceland have a right to use PGD to intentionally select for a disability. This Note concludes by recommending Iceland completely deregulate PGD to allow prospective parents full reproduc- tive autonomy. I.

This screening is a probability test performed at the end of the first trimester of pregnancy. Its use was initiated in late 1999 and quickly became a norm among the majority of parents who visited the specialized clinic which provided care to women in high-risk as well as low-risk pregnancies. This development is clearly reflected in the statistics, since in 2007 three quarters of pregnant women in Iceland accepted the test and in the capital area, where access is easy, the uptake was almost 90%. It was not until some years after the introduction of the screening that clinical guidelines concerning its use were formed. Observing this development, I came to the conclusion that an open discussion was needed about the benefits and possible drawbacks of routine use of screening in antenatal care.

  • To the Review Committee Considering the Abortion-To-Birth Bill, Thank You for Taking the Time to Read My Submission
    To the Review Committee considering the Abortion-to-Birth Bill, Thank you for taking the time to read my submission. I am very concerned about the content of this bill and believe that the unborn babies of New South Wales no longer have a voice to defend them. Politicians should seek to protect its most vulnerable citizens. This bill would allow parents to kill their child if the child was not the gender they wanted. If a mother gave birth to a child and killed it under normal circumstances it would be deemed as murder. How sad that our society has deteriorated so far that the sanctity of life is no longer treasured. A child in the womb is still a child. He or she breathes, feels pain, moves and is completely reliant on his or her parents to be cared for. Babies in the womb have a right to life. A baby who survives an abortion should be given neonatal care. Surely that is considered murder by the medical staff in attendance. Nurses who are committed to the preservation of life would be compelled by law to assist in the taking of life. There are many doctors who hold the conviction that abortion is not right. This bill will force doctors to refer ladies who would seek an abortion to a doctor who would perform the abortion. This is wrong! It is sad to think that women have come to the belief of ‘My body, my choice’. Where is the voice of the unborn baby? Women should be provided with counselling and informed as to what is done to an unborn baby to cause an abortion.
