Mary L Davenport, California obstetrician/gynecologist and former president of the American Association for Pro-Life Obstetricians and Gynecologists:
“Ultrasound is imperfect and analysis of the images can result in inaccurate interpretations. Pregnant women who have declined abortion for fetuses diagnosed by ultrasound with fatal birth defects such as Potter’s syndrome (kidney disease with no amniotic fluid) or thanatophoric dwarfism (a fatal form of skeletal disease) have sometimes ended up giving birth to normal babies.”
