re: Aborting children with down syndrome, would you do it?

Here is the thing though.... Those tests to check for down syndrome of the fetus are not always accurate. Coworker of mine, her sister had a bunch of testing done when she was pregnant. Testing showed her baby had down's. Doctor asked her if she wanted to abort, she decided not to. Baby was born......perfectly healthy. So think about all those perfectly healthy babies that were aborted....because of inaccurate test results. If I ever become blessed enough to get pregnant...I'm not doing any invasive testing during my pregnancy(such as amniocentesis....which is very painful and carries a big risk of miscarriage) because it will
not change what I do. I would not abort a child just because they have down's syndrome.
