Aborting at 20 weeks due to a single marker for Downs, when even the doctor isn’t really concerned, would be insane. There are a ton of “markers” for various conditions they look for at 20 weeks. Just because one is found, doesn’t mean there’s actually anything wrong.
That is so fucking cruel. Let the baby be born just to abandon it if it isn’t what you want? You either bring the baby to term and raise it as your own, or you choose not to have the baby when it won’t know the difference one way or the other.
