The New York Times reports that five prenatal tests for rare genetic disorders are wrong most of the time, with some tests achieving 93 percent inaccuracy. These pre-natal test results have led expectant mothers to abort their healthy pregnancies.

In these five tests, the Times reports, "positive results are often wrong." The tests are those for DiGeorge syndrome, which affects 1 in 4,000 births, which has an 81 percent rate of being wrong. The test for 1p36 deletion, common in 1 in 5,000 births, is 84 percent wrong, while the much rarer Cri-du-chat syndrome test is wrong 80 percent of the time. ..."

What they don’t want to say, how many were verified healthy and if they notified the mother or even the primary care doctor.

They justify as the the fetus isn’t alive, just cells removed from mom. As soon as it was removed it is no longer hers or part of her.

Property of the hospital bow, just a lab specimen

Initial problem is between the ears of the utilitarian mother and/or father: Life with suffering isn’t worth living. Pagans. The traditional Christian view, that abortion is never permissible even in difficult situations prevents people from making evil, lifelong regrettable decisions. And then the Tempter tortures them their entire lives. Often they find that nothing is wrong with the child, that all knowing MEDICINE and SCIENCE were wrong. And if the child is handicapped, the parents get to give and receive life’s greatest gift: Unconditional Love.
