Luckily the mother did not abort and her baby was born and was perfectly fine. Beware Genetic Counselors and Genetic tests. We had a friend who went through a very similar scenario and was told there was a good chance her daughter would be retarded. She was distraught thankfully she also did not abort because her daughter was also born perfectly fine. It wasn't till our last child did we encounter the dreaded "Genetic Counselor" who was virtually forced on us. She kept pushing for my wife to get an amniocentesis. Eventually I just told her during a visit that we were prolife and it wouldn't matter what was found we'd be having the baby. We had a perfect baby boy.

BTW: what could be done to hamper over reliance on these tests is to pass legislation making doctors financially responsible for damages in the event the test results are wrong and a healthy baby is aborted. I don’t like to make life more difficult for Drs but I think when a life is at stake they need to not be so eager to recommend or drive a patient to the abortion conclusion and the quickest way to prevent that is through financial cost.

I wonder how many of the pro-abortion crowd are actually un-medicated homicidal psychopaths?

In story after story like this, the pro-abortion individual is always seems just a little too eager to sell the abortion.

Or is the reason something even more crass? Money?

The eugenics goal of Planned Parenthood is coming to fruition.

We went through this cr*p ,, for us it was a false positive for Trisomy18 ... I think the tests were demanded by our insurance company because of my wifes age... something needs to be done about using unreliable screening tests in this way. My oldest son is now at the top of his 5th grade class..
