This bill (recently signed into law by Governor John Kasich of Ohio), would help prevent discrimination by prohibiting abortions on unborn babies who have or may have Down syndrome.

This may or may not be with enough adequate information about Down syndrome itself, including the fact that children born with this challenge can live long, healthy, and fulfilling lives in the care of loving families.
