How many children do you have? For each of ours, there is a strong push for early genetic testing from everyone, primary care, OBs, friends and family. For our first, they were flagged in an ultrasound and they asked whether we wanted to terminate (kiddo ended up without down's, even the Harmony test is only 80% accurate among high risk mothers). The manner in which the "choice" is presented is heavily biased at a systemic level.
