"To all of the wonderful Down Syndrome children in our Country, and their parents, who love them so much—You are AMAZING! May God bless you," Trump said on Truth Social.

According to a 2013 study, almost 99 percent of people with Down syndrome report being happy with their lives. Ninety-six percent like how they look, and 97 percent like who they are. But in 2017, Down syndrome "almost disappeared" in the country of Iceland thanks to abortion. In 2019, only 18 children with Down syndrome were born in the country.

Other countries have experienced this trend as well. In Norway earlier this year, parents spoke out against pressure from medical professionals to abort babies with Down syndrome. A 2025 report indicated that Scotland has also seen "a dramatic rise in abortions involving Down syndrome diagnoses, with government figures showing an 82% increase since 2021." In 2024, 60 preborn children with Down syndrome were aborted in the country, while in 2021, the number was 33.

The reason for these trends is that medical advances coupled with loosened abortion laws, liberal media coverage, and hostile medical professionals work in tandem to pressure parents to undergo an abortion if their child has Down syndrome. An example of this came in a 2020 article for The Atlantic titled "The Last Children of Down Syndrome," which highlighted parents who chose to abort their preborn child with Down syndrome because they believed the killing was an act of mercy.

Babies with Down syndrome are targets elsewhere across the world as well. In the United Kingdom, abortion is illegal after 24 weeks unless the child is diagnosed with Down syndrome. According to a report by the Wilberforce Project, a pro-life organization, women who live in Alberta, Canada, are routinely encouraged to undergo screening for Down syndrome, only to be pressured by the medical community to abort their children.
