OTTAWA, February 8, 2007 (LifeSiteNews.com) – This week the Society of Obstetricians and Gynecologists of Canada (SOGC) recommended all pregnant women to be offered non-invasive prenatal genetic screening for fetal aneuploidy (chromosomal abnormality), with a particular emphasis on Down's syndrome. The Catholic Organization for Life and Family (COLF), an entity sponsored by the Canadian Conference of Catholic Bishops and the Knights of Columbus, called the proposal “a disturbing step towards eugenics in our society.”
The National Post reported on January 6, 2007 that according to the executive vice president of the SOGC, this screening was being recommended "so that a greater number of women would have the option to terminate their pregnancies should fetal abnormalities be detected".

Next thing you know, we'll be screening wives so husbands can have more options for terminating them. Husbands get bored, y'know. They need a little space to run around with floozies named Betti Sooee or I-didn't-catch-your-name at the diner or Jodi. And if you wives grumble about it, snuff you.
