Marte Wexelsen Goksøyr

[4] In 2011, VG published an op-ed headlined "Utrydningstruet" (English: Endangered) by Goksøyr where she opposed a proposal to offer Norwegian women obstetric ultrasonography at week 12 during pregnancy in order to screen for fetus defects, including Down syndrome.

[5] Parliamentarian Laila Dåvøy of the Christian People's Party subsequently invited Goksøyr to the Parliament of Norway.

[6] In 2012, Goksøyr published the book Jeg vil leve (English: I want to live) which both focused on her own life as a person with Down syndrome and political issues related to the disorder.

The book contained interviews with then Prime Minister Jens Stoltenberg, mayor of Oslo Fabian Stang, Goksøyr's parents and others.

[7] During the NRK broadcast of the Norwegian Constitution bicentennial 2014, Goksøyr spoke in favour of a diverse and inclusive society and against selective abortion of fetuses with Down syndrome.
