The commentators on this article point
out, cynically but no doubt astutely, that the inclusion of these
young women, one with Downs Syndrome and the other with a prosthetic
limb, is almost certainly a cynical publicity stunt. I become
increasingly unable to underestimate the depths to which the human
soul can descend.
But the women themselves, Madeline Stuart and Rebekah Marine are extremely positive
about themselves. They see their participation on the runway at NY Fashion Week as a great opportunity for themselves and
for others who don't fit the typical mold. Good for them.
And perhaps, the presence of two good souls will do some good for the jaded souls pervading the fashion industry. For instance, can there be any doubt that nearly 100% of the NY fashion show participants would agree with the statement: a woman should obtain an abortion if a pre-natal diagnosis indicated her fetus would be born with Downs or with a deformed limb.

Will they still feel that way after
getting to know these two outstanding women?
