In case you all missed the article that has been making the news this
week... the Frames are longtime DSAC members and Lara is collecting
stories.

> Hello all,
>
> This is an email to everyone whom has shown this issue support!
> Most of the press articles are focusing more on just abortion or
> controversy in the classroom instead of the view that babies with an
> extra chromosome (or any other disability) should be aborted and
>that this is called eugenics. As a response, I've created a sort of
>'awareness project.' If you could write a short blurb (like 250 or so
>words) on how your child/sibling/family member/friend/co-worker/
>(or even yourself) with Down Syndrome/disabilities has changed your
>life. I hope to use the University Press to get them published and of
>course give a copy to Professor Harris. Also, parents of children with
>Down Syndrome, if your "typical" child would like to something that
>would be great, too! Or if you want to get your friends/other relatives
>to write that something that would be wonderful. The more stories we
>have to share, the better informed the public. If you'd like to contribute
>please email them (they can be in the actual email or as a word attachment)
>to lafra86@xxxxxxxxx
>
> Also, please label as Pro-Humanity, or Down Syndrome, or disabilities,
> something like that so I know what it's for.
>
> Thank you so much to everyone who believes that what we are doing is
> right!
