31. i do recall reading this. i thought az. at 36, down syndrome for baby escalates. my doctor

Jun 2012

let me know about it and a procedure that would check to see if the baby had down. i had just hit 36.

i told the doctor i would not get an abortion anyway so i saw no need for the test. that is what it is all about.

so i am curious. does the doctor now NOT tell a patient that has hit that magical number of 36 the increase risk of down? since, that might result in preg?

how about any number of womans health issues that can effect a preg. my cousin has severe diabetes. they were so concerned about her preg. they monitored her, the babies health extensively. do they not do all that because the woman then might consider abortion for the sake of her life?

huge and lots of examples with this law.
