Newlywed Heidi Carter is on a mission to save preborn children from abortion for simply having the same condition that she has, Down syndrome. It's a practice that the 24-year-old woman considers "deeply offensive."

"It's downright discrimination, that's what it is," Carter said, who previously worked in a child's hair salon before the pandemic. "I will not tolerate it. That someone like me or James, my husband, could be aborted just before birth is just not on."

In another interview, she explained, "And the reason why it's important to me and James is because we are someone who has Down syndrome. And we want to say to the world that we have a good quality of life."

In the United Kingdom, it is legal to abort a child with Down syndrome at any point during the pregnancy. For most other pregnancies, abortion is just legal until the 24th week. According to the latest reports, about 90% of children with the condition are aborted in the country.

Now, she and others are fighting in the courts to protect preborn babies from discriminatory abortions.

What are your children's or grandchildren's favorite cartoons? D.C. Super Hero Girls? My Little Pony? Disney Duck Tales? She-Ra and the Princesses of Power? Star Wars Resistance? And how much do you know about the characters on those shows?

A new report from Entertainment Insider, an online news and media outlet, shows the growing portrayal of LGBT-identified characters in children's cartoons like these.

The report lists 70 programs with a total of 259 characters with a variety of "sexual orientations" and "gender identities," including lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, nonbinary, pansexual, polysexual and agender.

The shows are explicitly geared toward children and teens, as Insider analyzed standard television series that were "rated TV-PG and below and either programmed with children in mind or accessible to children if programmed for a preteen or teen audience."

Insider says the characters "bust the myth that kids can't handle inclusion." The outlet created a database with all the "LGBTQ and gender-minority characters in animated children's television" up through 2020. "We found a 222% increase from 2017 to 2019 in the number of LGBTQ characters confirmed in new series or by showrunners of series that had ended," the article stated.

A recent Louisiana law signed on July 2 requires abortion providers to inform women about the abortion pill reversal protocol, which is safe, effective and can save the lives of preborn babies by negating the effects of the drug.

The measure, HB 578, relates specifically to chemically induced abortions. In this method, the mother is given two pills – mifepristone and misoprostol. The first drug blocks a hormone called progesterone which is vital to the continuation of pregnancy, especially in the early stages. The second drug induces uterine contractions, and then, an unnatural miscarriage.

With the law, upon administering the mifepristone, abortion providers would then be required to provide a disclosure statement attached in some way to the bag containing the misoprostol or on the prescription for it. This statement is required to read as follows:

"PLEASE READ BEFORE TAKING SECOND PILL. Research has indicated that the first pill provided, identified as mifepristone, is not always effective in ending a pregnancy. If after taking the first pill you regret your decision, please consult a physician or healthcare provider immediately to determine if there are options available to assist you in continuing your pregnancy."
