Today in Canada is National Indigenous Peoples Day / Journée nationale des peuples autochtones!

It’s an “official day of celebration to recognize and honour the heritage, cultures and valuable contributions to society by First Nations, Inuit and Métis peoples. National Indigenous Peoples Day is the same day as the summer solstice (the longest day of the year) and was chosen for its important symbolism to many Indigenous peoples.”

Und ich bin traurig wegen der schrecklichen Folgen vom #nipd. Test. Viele getötet, Pele spielt alleine #fussball 😱

Trisomie-Test als Kassenleistung - "Down-Syndrom ist keine Krankheit"

Krankenkassen dürfen künftig die Kosten für Bluttests auf ein Down-Syndrom ungeborener Kinder übernehmen. Nun müsse im Bundestag zügig über gesetzliche Grundlagen debattiert werden, die verhindern, dass dies zu einer "Aussonderung von Menschen mit Down-Syndrom führt", forderte Ulla Schmidt (SPD) im Dlf.
