    Default Iceland aborting almost 100% of Down syndrome babies

    https://www.cbsnews.com/news/down-syndrome-iceland/

    Since prenatal screening tests were introduced in Iceland in the early 2000s, the vast majority of women -- close to 100 percent -- who received a positive test for Down syndrome terminated their pregnancy.

    Hans Asperger 'collaborated with Nazis' in WWII

    Newly uncovered documents suggest Hans Asperger, the paediatrician whose name describes a form of autism, was actively involved in the Nazi regime's euthanasia programme in Austria.

    The evidence comes from previously unexamined Nazi-era documents and patient records.
    They suggest Dr Asperger ingratiated himself by referring children to a notorious euthanasia clinic.

    Prof Asperger claimed to have shielded his patients from the Nazi regime.
    The patient records and documents show that Dr Asperger sent patients to the Am Spiegelgrund clinic in Vienna, where they were put to death.

    Uncovered by Austrian medical historian Herwig Czech, they were reported in the journal Molecular Autism.

    Mr Czech wrote in the medical journal that "[Prof Asperger] managed to accommodate himself to the Nazi regime and was rewarded for his affirmations of loyalty with career opportunities".

    An editorial in the journal, written by Cambridge academics, said that Asperger "willingly became a cog in the Nazi killing machine" and "part of the eyes and ears of the Third Reich".

    A total of 789 children are said to have been killed at the Am Spiegelgrund clinic.
    Dr Asperger was not a member of the Nazi party.

    In a 1980 inauguration speech at the University of Vienna, shortly before his death at the age of 74, he said he was wanted by the Gestapo (Nazi-era secret police) for refusing to turn in children to them.

    Asperger syndrome was first identified by Prof Asperger in 1944, however, the term "autistic psychopathy" was used until 1981.

    In 1981, the British psychiatrist Lorna Wing introduced the diagnosis of Asperger syndrome.

    What is Asperger syndrome?

    Asperger syndrome is a type of autism.

    People with the condition may find it hard to tell people what they need, how they feel, and can find it difficult to meet other people and make new friends.

    They may also struggle to understand what other people think, and how they feel.
    While there are similarities with autism, people with Asperger syndrome have fewer problems with speaking and are often of average, or above-average, intelligence.

    "No-one with a diagnosis of Asperger syndrome should feel in any way tainted by this very troubling history," Carol Povey, director at the Centre of Autism for the UK's National Autistic Society, said in a statement to the BBC.

    "We expect these findings to spark a big conversation among the 700,000 autistic people in the UK and their family members, particularly those who identify with the term 'Asperger'," she said.

    It's the woman's right to do anything she wants with her body

    I agree Brock. Abortion, prostitution, make up. Let a woman do what she wants. Feminists could learn a thing or two about free choice.

    I think killing a baby because they have autism is racist

    It's the woman's Choice since it is happening inside of her body. There is no law that can tell someone what to do that is happening inside their body. It is not the state's business. That is about as Sovereign As It Gets.
