Sen. Inhofe spoke to the need for such legislation. "All children should be given the chance at life and our friends in the Down syndrome community are no exception," Sen. Inhofe said in a statement to Townhall. "That’s why I led a letter with Sen. Daines to Majority Leader Schumer and Minority Leader McConnell this week urging them stand for life and bring the Protecting Individuals with Down Syndrome Act to the Senate floor for a vote during the June work period. I encourage my Democratic colleagues to join me in fighting for all of the unborn—including those in the Down syndrome community. Not only is this the right thing to do, but as the letter recognizes, this effort has the support of the American public—70% of Americans oppose aborting a child on the basis that the child will be born with Down syndrome. These children deserve a voice," he said.
