Borla and blahblah also brought it up... and Ustwo, why wouldn't it bother someone who was pro-choice? If a couple was trying very hard to have a baby, and they had no intention of aborting it at any point (aka they were emotionally and financially ready and willing to have a baby), then I think it's still fair to say that it would "bother" them to abort it. That has nothing to do with pro-choice, to me... it's just something very sad and difficult for that couple to go through.

Perhaps true. And I agree with you there. But if no one is special... then why try so hard to have a "perfect" child? Why not just take what you're given, since no one is special anyway? Also, if "doing" is so important to you... how would you handle if your partner had the test done, got a false positive (e.g. it said the baby was fine, when it wasn't), and you went on to have a Down's baby anyway?--it happens. I mean, how would you cope with that, given your attitude towards doing = value?
