She did decline the amnio and went on to have a healthy - and chromosonally normal - daughter.
I believe it is SOP to get the amnio before the abortion to verify.

Oh, for Pete's sake! Don't you guys understand sarcasm? Everything bad that has happened since Jan. 20 is supposed to be Obama's fault; he's just showing how stupid that is.

Sorry I had to spoil the fun!

Don't forget the rise in Autism.

It is probably because of the extensive use of psychiatric medication on the normal population. You never know what long term effects those medications will have on women

Bush caused the break up of the Beatles and the death of Elvis also.

Who would get the test if they were already going to carry to term regardless of the test says?

I would think the number would be 0%, otherwise what's the point in getting the test and putting undue risk unto the fetus.

I think most people make up their mind to carry to term and just don't get these unnecessary tests.

My initial repsonse to you was one of humor. Anyone with knowledge of medicine and genetics would get a good belly laugh from your suggestion of causual effect. It is so scientifically laughable on so many different levels (I am laughing so hard that I really cannot begin to comprehend how I would begin to "refute" your moronic assertion) that I really appreciate the humor that you have brought to me on this day. I must admit, however, that I am somewhat concerned about your thought process and your ability to proceed as a functioning entity in mankind.


Keep talking. I love to hear liberals talk, as it is one of the few comedic releases I have in my life.

He wasn't the pres. then. In fact, I think he was in a drunk at the time of each.

"in a drunk"? What exactly does that mean?

I sincerely believe that the liberal mind is convinced that Bush had something to do with the President McKinley asassination or the Linbergh kidnapping.
