It doesn't actually make the link between low Down Syndrome occurrences and "oh, they aborted them all." It does say that they do abort many of them.
What I'm trying to say is, it does not discount a more natural link of better healthcare and nutrition which may lead to less down syndrome pregnancies in the first place, and zero discussion is given to this.
- celticninja 9y agoThats a very good point, although I believe downs syndrome is a genetic issue rather than healthcare and nutrition issue. However the point remains that if the incidence of downs is very low in the country, combined with an abortion rate that is e.g on average for a European country then a case could be made that abortion is not the driving factor for the low incidence of DS in the general population.
