She is, in fact, pro-choice. The woman had hit upon something important. In an open letter to genetic counselors published in a professional journal, one woman described the aftermath for her family of a decision to end a pregnancy involving a fetus with Down syndrome. Her school-aged children, disturbed by their parents' grief, asked what was so bad about this type of disability. One wonders how children specifically encouraged to see disability as an all-encompassing burden both for the person who has it and for others will interact with the people with noticeable disabilities that they will most certainly meet in life.
Reproductive technology can be divisive.
It can reinforce prejudices. There is another side of prenatal testing though. Another woman with a family history of cystic fibrosis had a predictive test when she was pregnant because, if her child were effected, she wanted to get on a particular doctor's roster right away. There are people who do want the tests, and people who have benefited from them. However, it is one thing to acknowledge a couple's right to make a personal and private decision to use prenatal testing based their own unique circumstances, it is quite another thing for there to be a general expectation that every pregnant woman over 35 will go on defect alert.
