My mother had ten children. Her last one was born when she was 43. Her doctor badgered her throughout her pregnancy that her chances of having a Down Syndrome baby was very high because of her age. The doctor, we found out later, was the head of Planned Parenthood in the county where we lived. He had taken over the her previous doctor's practice because he had died. And he was embarrassed that one of his patients was refusing to get an abortion.

My mother gave birth to a healthy, normal red-headed baby girl. Now, she would have accepted the baby even if she was Down Syndrome. But, that poor excuse for a doctor made her life hell for 9 months.

I was 40 when I had our last son. Kaiser pressured me too, to have the omnio and labeled me “at risk”. I refused on the grounds of my “religion”, which they reluctantly accepted. Yes, we too had a beautiful healthy 9.5 lb baby boy without any blemish. Thank you Jesus.
