Europe’s Missing Children
23rd April 2024
Nearly 90% of unborn babies prenatally diagnosed with Down’s syndrome in England and Wales (and Crown Dependencies) were aborted in 2021, according to official data released last month. These statistics were published on the day preceding the UK’s four-day Easter weekend, deliberately, it appears, to bury 973 victims whose deaths were assented to by the state—the PR equivalent of scattering twigs and leaves over a shallow grave.
Every year, thousands of unborn children considered undesirable are made to disappear around Europe. A study published in 2021 estimated that there were 9,300 fewer people born with Down’s syndrome annually in Europe between 2011 and 2015 because of abortion, a reduction rate of over 50%. In total, abortion accounted for approximately 155,000 missing people with Down’s syndrome who’d otherwise be alive in 2015. That figure has surely risen.
The proliferation of abortion and non-invasive prenatal testing has wiped out much of the Down’s syndrome population in recent years. In the age of identity, when so-called ‘victimised’ groups gain special protections from the state and a culture that elevates minorities over the majority, the singling out of unborn children with disabilities is accepted and encouraged.
Out of sight, out of mind. The eugenics gene of progressivism expresses itself whenever it can.
