Did You Know?
Servant of God, Dr. Jerome Lejeune, was a French, Catholic doctor who, in 1958, linked Down Syndrome to the presence of an extra copy of chromosome 21. He was heartbroken, however, when his discoveries were being used for the prenatal diagnosis and abortion of babies with Down Syndrome. In the defense of the sanctity of human life he said, “The enemies of life know that to destroy Christian civilization, they must first destroy the family at its weakest point – the child. And among the weakest, they must choose the least protected of all – the child who has never been seen; the child who is not yet known or loved in the usual meaning of the word; who has not yet seen the light of day; who cannot even cry out in distress.” Please pray for the integrity of the family unit.
