Unlikely Allies

Two women in two publication outlets representing what one would assume to be diametrically opposing world views recently both decried the same sad fact:  that 90% of fetuses diagnosed with Down Syndrome in the country are aborted.   Check it out.  See the post by Ki’tay Davidson, blogger on the Black Girl Dangerous Blog (describing its mission: as "to, in as many ways possible, amplify the voices, experiences and expressions of queer and trans* people of color"), entitled "Angry About the White Lesbians Suing for Having a Black Child:  You're Missing Something".  (Thanks to a former student, Bethany Jennings, for bringing it to my attention.)  Then see the post by Denise Hunnell on ZENIT (describing itself as "an international, non-profit news agency staffed by a team of professionals and volunteers who are convinced that the extraordinary wisdom of the Pontiff and the Catholic Church can nourish hope, and assist all of humanity to find truth, justice and beauty"), entitled, "Down Syndrome Does Not Make Life Disposable:  Why is Disdain Becoming More Acceptable?".

Is a consensus emerging?
