Planned Parenthood is suing the state of Ohio to win the “right” to kill unborn babies with Down Syndrome.
Last year, Gov. John Kasich (R-Ohio) signed a law that prohibited abortions when explicitly done because the baby had been diagnosed with Down Syndrome.
But, apparently, Planned Parenthood takes issue with that and thinks that women should, in fact, have the right to kill their disabled unborn children.
Cincinnati.com, which reported on the story, wrote:
“The patient-doctor relationship is critical; a woman should be able to trust her physicians and have confidential conversations without worrying about government interference,” said Jerry Lawson, president and CEO of Planned Parenthood Southwest Ohio, in a statement.
Ohio Right to Life, which promoted the law, called the lawsuit one of several “blatant and continuous attacks on the dignity and sanctity of human life.”
“It is a shame that an organization that claims to be the very biggest and best at defending victims of discrimination completely disregards the most vulnerable members of our society who are being discriminated against,” said Mike Gonidakis, president of Ohio Right to Life.
It’s unclear whether the legal challenge will ultimately succeed.
