According to the Charlotte Lozier Institute—a pro-life think tank in Washington, D.C.—the number of people living with Down syndrome in the United States has declined by 30 percent over the last 36 years. Every year, fewer people are born with the condition—but it isn’t due to any scientific or medical breakthrough. Tragically, this phenomenon is occurring by eliminating people.

Prenatal screening and testing advances have allowed doctors to diagnose Down syndrome fairly accurately before babies are born—usually around the 20th week of pregnancy. Sadly, based on the results of those tests, many families choose abortion over life. A team of researchers who published a study in the February 2012 issue of the journal Prenatal Diagnosis estimated that two out of every three preborn babies nationwide with Down syndrome are aborted, often with the full support of medical professionals.

Listen to these Focus on the Family Broadcasts, as author Heather Avis and her husband, Josh, discuss the heartache that infertility had on the early years of their marriage and the joy they now share as parents of three adopted children, two of whom have Down syndrome. The couple shines a positive light on Down syndrome, reminding parents that God is always faithful in the midst of whatever challenges they face.

How to fix any Android phone stuck in headphone mode only.

My fiancee's phone had this problem recently. I found this video very helpful and it worked. Except that I suggested she try some compressed air (the kind in cans for cleaning keyboards) She tried the q-tip and it fixed it for a minute or two, but the compressed air cleaned some more out and it has been working great since. If you need phone chargers or headphones or computer cords, other electronics, check out the electronics section of our store. We hope to have the one you are looking for.

Success

Sometimes, we feel like giving up. It seems like we put a lot of effort in and never succeed, but maybe if we were to take a step back: we would see that we are having a series of small wins. Even if we can't, we might need to remember to view "failure" in the light of a lesson learned. Shortly before He invented his light bulb, Thomas Edison is attributed to saying "I have not failed; I have discovered 1,000 ways not to make a light bulb." We want to encourage you today to not give up. The only way to surely fail is to never try or to stop trying. You may need a new approach, or a slight modification to your plan or goal; but do not give up on any worthwhile goal.
