Right. If I were pregnant, I would like to know before the actual birth if the fetus has any disabilities so that I can prepare myself beforehand. I'm certain that if I was not allowed to know that information and ended up giving birth to a baby with Downs, I'd put it up for adoption, and then sue the bastards that kept that information from me; there's no fucking way I could ever take care of a special needs child.
How would you prepare yourself?
...seriously?
Lets see...first, there won't be a huge shock after birth where you're told that 'hey, you've got a baby, and by the way, it has downs". Second, depending on the disability, there's an increased financial burden to prepare for, maybe some special equipment you'd be able to buy before birth, you could find someone to help you care for the child, if the disability is serious enough to require that...
Do you really not think that's something you'd have to prepare for?
