"Mr President, I would like to echo the compliments which Mrs Lynne has received for her report, but the report is not complete in my view. I welcome attention being given to the rights of the disabled. However, all the rights that are mentioned relate to people with a disability; none relate to the rights of the unborn child with a disability. This unborn life is also entitled to our protection.
All too often, antenatal pregnancy diagnostics is only used to determine whether an unborn child has a disability, whereupon, in the case of a disability, an induced termination of pregnancy is proceeded with.
It is a slap in the face of people with a congenital disability to know that we make such a fuss about their rights, while their disability in the unborn child would be a reason for termination. It appears that there, the disabled do not have any rights, let alone dignity."@en1
