Earlier this year, the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists recommended that all pregnant women, regardless of age, undergo amniocentesis. Obviously that’s to put them under increasing pressure to abort the child if a genetic defect is detected.

It may also be a ploy to reduce lawsuits. There may be financial incentives as well.

Unlikely. The risk of complications from an amnio is higher than the risk of being sued for missing a genetic disease.
