I refused Down Syndrome testing because I wasn’t going to do anything antilife if the baby did have it.

Good for you.
My wife and I felt the same way when she was carrying our daughter. I had a friend who felt differently..his wife was pregnant in her late 30’s... and he demanded she get every possible test to rule out defects no matter what risk it posed to his daughter.
I lost so much respect for him because of that...
I refused it as well. Fortunately, my OB/GYN simply presented the test. After some discussion on my part, he simply said, “If you don’t care about the answer.... you don’t have to ask the question”. I didn’t care about the answer.
We got the testing. The test results stated that we had a higher risk for having a DS baby.
He’s due any day now.
