Thanks for posting this. Truly sad where our society has gone.
At my youngest son’s ultrasound the doctor told us He had a clubbed foot and there was a good chance he could be Downs. They recommended an Amniocentesis to determine this. When we asked about the procedure we were shocked to find out 1 in 2000 babies die from the procedure. The doctor then pressed and asked if we knew what we could be facing and to consider all the options. I started getting red under the collar and explained to him our convictions. She pressed more asked me to leave the room so she could talk to my wife. Well the MRS. had enough of this talk and she left the room with me. This was amazingly in one of the reddest states in the Bible belt. I was shocked.
About four months later my wife gave birth to a healthy baby boy with a clubbed foot. He had the surgery to correct it and has turned out to be an early blooming athlete; fastest base runner on the baseball team and a great slugging percentage. I have this on the authority of his head coach who may just be a bit biased:)
Our family had an ultrasound that showed a dark space in the abdominal cavity and they wanted to do DNA testing because they said the child would probably have Downs Syndrome with abdominal abnormalities. Refused.
The boy is healthy, happy, handsome, smart, no birth defects and off the growth charts for size plus he skis, plays hockey, baseball, football, soccer, golf...you name it.
I think it’s a a scam by hospitals with gov’t grants to gather DNA.
