Barbara Katz Rothman, author of The Tentative Pregnancy, discusses the pressure that pregnant women who have been shown to be carrying disabled unborn babies are under to abort:

“It seems that, in gaining the choice to control the quality of our children, we may be losing the choice of simply accepting them as they are.”

BK Roffman “the Meaning of Choice in Reproductive Technology” in Test Tube Women: What Future Motherhood, page 30. Quoted in Janet Hadley “Abortion: between Freedom and Necessity” (Great Britain: Virago Press) 1996
