Ohio bans doctors from performing Down Syndrome abortions

[Catholic_Lady]

Triple screening tests are typically done at 12 weeks, which is still in the 1st trimester . That's not even close to 20 weeks. 20 weeks is during the second trimester. What CL is referring to is an amniocentesis, which is performed at 16 weeks because there is plenty of room in the sac to draw fluid from and the baby has sloughed off enough cells to do the DNA tests on the fluid. And the reason why it's even done at all is because prior testing showed some sort of an abnormality. They don't just do an amniocentesis for shits and giggles.

As I said before the triple screening, at best is only 60% accurate.

This is all a moot point. All the graphic photos can be shown here all people want. It doesn't change the fact that it is still a woman's right to do with her body, what she feels is right for her. Period. People trying to gross out others is just really sick and immature.

But people dont abort their babies after a positive screen because they are only 30% accurate. They do it after an amniocentesis which, as you said, doesn't happen until 16 weeks at the very earlieat. (Mine was at 19 weeks).

And just for the record, the link I posted wasn't of an aborted 20 week baby. It was a link from Baby Center with an illustration and a paragraph explaining his/her developments at that time. Nothing abortion related. I think the only person who posted a pic of an aborted baby was A Theist, and it wasn't to "gross out." It was to show what aborting a 2nd trimester baby actually looks like. If people are going to support that, they should be informed of exactly what it is they are supporting.
