Well, on the tests, once you get a genetic test back (not the initial screen), I think it's pretty much dead-on for the things they test for. Which isn't too many. My recollection is fuzzy, as always.

I had a close relative where the initial tests showed some catastrophic deformity. She went to a very well known Hospital for more specific follow up tests and there were mixed results. The genetic specialists said something like there was a 30% chance of catastrophic genetic disorder that would result in death within 3 years. They went through with it. The kid fell into the 70%. Seemingly perfectly normal at age 4.

I frankly have a hard time getting on a political high-horse on this issue. I marched on Washington back in early college in 1988 (not since, interestingly). I have a very high sense of both personal liberty and personal responsibility and accountability (I don't see much wrong with Seb's suggestion of lifelong responsibility for both parents, unless they agree otherwise). But yes, I feel more keenly now about "life."

In 1988 I was pro-choice. I evolved. Much like our nation did on the issue of slavery and civil rights.

Rather than legislative or judicial solutions to the abortion question, in my utopia, people would just make extremely smart choices and live with and up to the consequences of failures or lapses and a bad luck of the draw.
