March of Dimes Letter on Babies with Disabilities

A letter sent out by Dr. J Cooper and the March of Dimes Arizona Tay-Sachs prevention committee encouraging parents and practitioners to do amniocentesis in order to detect disabilities in the baby (and abort if there are any). This letter was to prospective parents.

“Unfortunately, few hospitals will accept children for long-term care, and when they do the cost is generally prohibitive.”

Randy Engel, “the Rising Tide of Eugenic Abortion”,  in Suzanne M Rini. Beyond Abortion: a Chronicle of Fetal Experimentation. (Rockford, Illinois: Tan Books and Publishers, 1988) 55

There are many pressures on the parents of disabled babies to abort. It is easier for society to get rid of the handicapped children than to care for them.
