The world needs more children like Chloe. Good-natured, happy, polite, never mean, never bullying anybody. The world should welcome more children like Chloe. The world needs to welcome more children with Down syndrome, like her.
Today, Chloe is 16 years old, and she’s one of the survivors of the guillotine of abortion: more than 90 percent of unborn children with a diagnosis like hers are aborted.
