A member asked:
Why should i get the maternal serum screen if unwilling to have amnio or abortion?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No reason: 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.
