Down Syndrome Association upset by Shortland Street episode

In a recent episode, the baby's father Chris Warner suggested the mother abort the pregnancy after learning it might have Down syndrome.

That's angered the Down Syndrome Association who say they weren't consulted about the episode.

Down Syndrome Association spokesperson Kim Porthouse toldĀ Morning ReportĀ the storyline reflected outdated thinking and failed to represent an inclusive society.
