On Wednesday, Frank Stephens, who has Down syndrome and also has had a successful career as an actor, gave a powerfully moving and poignant speech before Congress as he combated those who would abort fetuses diagnosed with Down syndrome, telling a congressional committee that proponents of aborting fetuses with Down syndrome are pushing a “final solution” and asserting that his life is “worth living.”
He plaintively asked, “Seriously, I don’t feel I should have to justify my existence. Is there really no place for us in the world? Surely happiness is worth something.”
