Man with Down Syndrome Gives "Riveting, Eloquent" Speech on Capitol Hill: "I Don't Feel I Should Have to Justify My Existence. My LifeIs Worth Living!"Saying that aborting a Down's baby is "as evil as the Third Reich," Frank Stevens added, "We are a medical gift to society. A blueprint for medical research into cancer, Alzheimer's, and immune systems disorders [and] we are an unusually powerful source of happiness. Let's pursue answers, not Final Solutions!"

Stephens referred to Iceland and other countries where health officials brag about eliminating Down, but only by promoting abortion for Down-diagnosed pre-borns.
