Mothers Refusing Prenatal Testing to Protect Babies with Down » Secondhand Smoke | A First Things Blog

Mothers Refusing Prenatal Testing to Protect Babies with Down » Secondhand Smoke | A First Things Blog.

Count the pharmer as one who dodged the prenatal testing, finding it to generate more negatives than positives.  All of my pregnancies would presently be categorized as high risk.  There was no testing for alpha-fetoprotein, nor any subsequent testing for anomalies.

Perhaps after the post-hippocratic, “witch-doctors” tire of polluting  the healing arts, the prenatal testing will become more useful for those of us who would NOT treat human afflictions by killing the patient.

Expect that with Obamacare,  moms will be told that that their children with disabilities will not be covered by health insurance.  In this way, women will be coerced to abort.

Women will attempt to protect their babies by not accepting any prenatal care whatsoever.

At Least Reid Picked a Female to Dub the Senate’s Hottest Member

CNN Political Ticker: All politics, all the time Blog Archive – Reid calls Gillibrand ‘the hottest member’ « – Blogs from CNN.com.

and we’re glad  Harry Reid doesn’t have Chris Matthew’s problem …….

From the Political Ticker:

“Reid made one of those comments Monday morning at a New York fundraiser hosted by Mayor Michael Bloomberg.”

“The Nevada Democrat referred to New York Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand “the hottest member,” which apparently made Gillibrand blush, according to two Democratic sources familiar with the incident.”

Oh……. by the way…….. Reid had to vote against the military spending bill which contains a repeal of “don’t ask, don’t tell”. There’s an election coming up, you know.

Not mentioned in the leftist press, which excuses Reid’s vote as procedural, is that the military spending bill also contains Roland Burris’s amendment to allow (coerce) abortions at military hospitals.
