150. Why would parents terminate due to poor fetal health?
That's eugenics. I'm not saying it should be illegal, but unless there is a danger to the mother, I think it's highly unethical. About on the order of designer genes, IMO. Keep in mind this is why there are so few Down's Syndrome babies being born compared to years ago. But yes, it is certainly a choice. So any procedure that can be scheduled fall under the right to choose, in doctor's opinions?

I wonder what obstetricians think about the man in California who can't get executed because they can't find a doctor willing to perform the procedure?
