[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Actually I've become even more pro choice since becoming pregnant. It wasn't until I understood when testing could take place and how that corresponded with so-called "late term abortion" that I got it. You only potentially find out about things at 20 weeks, may need to get an amnio to confirm, and by then you're pushing the 23 week deadline. [/quote]

What is CVS for $20, Alex..

[i]CVS can be done early in pregnancy (earlier than amniocentesis), and results are usually obtained within 10 days. Getting this kind of information early allows a woman to make choices in the beginning stage of her pregnancy. If a woman chooses to terminate the pregnancy after receiving abnormal test results, the termination will be safer than if she waits until later for amniocentesis results.[/i]

CVS is not always covered by insurance, particularly in women under 35.  So those women need to do the 13 week test and see a potential abnormality in order for CVS to be covered by insurance.  This takes us back to the matter of pushing the timeline. [/quote]

Moreover, none of the diagnostic tests like CVS or amnio are done routinely, unless an abnormality is spotted. Abnormalities are not spotted until the 20 week ultrasound. So, again, my original point, which I made a loooong time ago, stands.

I have a child with SN and while I love him so, and will fight for him to get the services he needs and hopefully to attain a life he enjoys, parenting has made me even more pro choice. I do not know what my son's life would look like in the hands of someone without the resources or the will to fight for him.[/quote]

[b]CVS is routinely done with older mothers, which is how DCUM skews[/b].[/quote]

Uh, okay? So what? It is not done for the vast bulk of the population, so how does that impact the late term abortion issue?[/quote]

Seriously? Come on. You gotta keep up. [/quote]
