FATHER OF DOWNS CHILDREN RESPONDS TO RICHARD DAWKINS

My previous post "INCLUDING PEOPLE WITH DOWNS"
Richard Dawkins
referred to Richard Dawkins' disgusting and bigoted comments that mother's carrying a Downs baby have a moral responsibility to abort the child. That brought a welcome comment from Tom Reynolds referring me to an OPEN LETTER TO RICHARD DAWKINS, by J.D. Flynn, published in FIRST THINGS -- America's most influential journal on religion and public life. It is an excellent letter. Please read it here: http://www.firstthings.com/web-exclusives/2014/08/an-open-letter-to-richard-dawkins


What Dawkins does not understand is that people with Downs call the world to a higher standard of love.

Click on image below or https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NfuaNhXI1Ao for a beautiful song written by Steve Mosher, the father of a daughter with Downs. It is perhaps the most poignant response to Richard Dawkins' comments.
