Not always.: Even if you object abortion, you will be informed of the likelihood of inheritable conditions in the baby. The expecting couple can use this information to assess their situation and resources to receive a special child.

Preparation: For some people it is about abortion but for most it is about preparation. Prenatal care is all about understanding what the patient and her baby need and formulating a plan that meets that delivers a safe birth. If there is a genetic problem, birth defect, heart problem etc the parents and the doctors can prepare.
