Parents fear abortion law change could lead to more disability terminations
Показать описание
As submissions on the government's Abortion Legislation Bill, some parents of children with disabilities say they're concerned the bill will lead to more abortions on the grounds of disability.
Parents of children with Downs Syndrome say attitudes have been changing since pre-natal screening for disability was introduced around ten years ago, and they're afraid people with the disability are becoming more and more a minority.
Proponents of pre-natal screening and the new abortion legislation say it's all about giving women information, and choice.
Alex Perrottet and cameraman Nick Monro went to meet some children with Downs Syndrome and speak to their mums.
