31. It is not so much as asking about their religious beliefs, but....
whether or not they let those religious beliefs influence how they practice medicine. I have no idea whether or not my OB/GYN opposed abortion, however, when one of my daughters initial tests for downs syndrome was abnormally high, I do know that they gave me all the information I would need to make an informed decision as to whether or not I wanted to continue with the pregnancy. Luckily, from doing an amnio we found out the test was a false positive.

They clearly warned be prior to doing any pre-natal test, that some of them were optional and to think through what I was going to do with any information I got. Why did they offer the test, if they weren't going to divulge the results? It smells like a lawsuit to me.
