[Hemingway's Ghost]

There's more to this story than meets the eye. She decided to get an abortion after an amnio test for Down's Syndrome popped positive. But amnio tests, if I'm not mistaken, are notorious for popping false positives. I've heard from dozens of parents who learned of a positive amnio test only to discover later, through other procedures, that it was a false positive.

I don't know how painful a decision this was for this woman, and I'm not going to point any fingers. But she should've definitely done more to confirm the positive amnio pop. I certainly hope she did and simply didn't make that part of the story.

That really is not true. Amnio tests are 100% accurate, as long as they don't mix up the patents lab results.
By the way, that is exactly what they did with a friend of mine.
