Wrong to Use Prenatal Genetic Testing to Push for Abortion

Wrong to Use Prenatal Genetic Testing to Push for Abortion | LifeNews.com: In a January Nature magazine article the head of Stanford’s Center for Law and Biosciences, Hank Greeley, said within five years, genetic testing kits will be available over the counter that will predict not only whether a preborn baby has Down Syndrome, Cystic Fibrosis, or Tay Sachs disease, but also the baby’s sex and eye color.

Greeley estimates that the number of genetic tests performed on preborn babies will jump from the current 100,000 to over 3 million and that abortions will be viewed as a way to save money from being spent on “high cost children.” Because who really wants “to bring a child into the world who will suffer and cause their family undue burden and emotional and financial hardship?”
