Some women actually feel pressurised toward a decision to terminate even when the problem with their baby is correctable.

How does Europe's Socialist, cradle to grave, health care system play into all this?

The doctor's are owned by the government, and it's these same doctor's who are making decisions about who lives (and gets treatment paid for by government health care), and who gets terminated (and isn't a drag on the governments health care budget).

It's like letting the foxes guard the hen house.

Some believe that as we offer the chance to terminate for more conditions, society is becoming increasingly intolerant towards babies who are born with abnormalities.

You're spot on in bringing up the health insurance aspect of this (re #33) -- I fear we're not far off from the day when insurance won't cover neonatal abnormalities that could have been "corrected" through abortion. This will be esp. true when (not if) we get stuck with nationalized healthcare.
