From a woman whose unborn baby tested positive for Down syndrome:
“I was looking forward to this child until I got the news that the baby had Down syndrome. Then, the child became an “it”… I was so defective that I couldn’t produce a non-– defective baby. I felt that if people knew, they would be horrified and I would be shunned.”
