The right to life is uncompromisable and is an exercise of our free will in defense of the most vulnerable. Without being able to express it at the time, I somehow knew Gabriel’s Down syndrome was only a small part of him, it was not his identity. However, my mom’s response shows that a special-needs diagnosis does not need to be a moment of grief, but rather a celebration of life. The fullness of Gabriel’s life is measured not by his external abilities, but by his eternal value as a child of God. Not knowing what Down syndrome was at the time, I can now undoubtedly say that my knowledge of it would not have mattered. I believe that we are at a moment of grace in this country where we can call more profound attention to human life with special needs, and I think the personal stories and the faces attached to the diagnosis are how hearts will be changed.
