A member asked:

If i wont have abortion, why should i do prenatal screening?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Probably shouldn't: If you have strong and unchangeable objections to amniocentesis or pregnancy termination, then the information from a screen is of no benefit and you should refuse. It is a personal choice.
