Yep, my friend’s mom was tested and she told that her son would have Down syndrome when he was born. They urged her to get an abortion. She refused and has a heathy (syndrome free) little boy now.
If only other people knew how unreliable these test are.
Pro-abortion people won’t discuss reliability of down syndrome pre-birth testing. To do so would give weight to the notion that an unborn baby is worth more than a blob of tissue.
The old test was sketchy at best. I know several people who came back with false positives for not only Down’s but also other disorders.
That said, they have a pretty new test that at this point they claim is over 90% accurate. Not just blood work, but a combination of things. My friend had it with her last pregnancy (it wasn’t availabl for her two year old to give you an idea of how new this is). Once again the traditional test threw a positive, but the new combo was negative.
I can’t stand to think of all the babies killed because of a faulty test. I hate that doctors encourage abortion when the tests came back positive. I’m actually changing OBs because she told me at my first appointment that this early screen could give me “options” whereas in later screens “your options are limited”. I haven’t even had the test yet and she was preparing me to abort if it was positive!!
I hope this new testing saves lives.
