According to researcher and writer Rayna Rapp:
“In England… three quarters of the obstetricians surveyed in one study replied that they required women to agree in principle to terminate an affected pregnancy before they perform an amniocentesis.”

One wonders how the doctors planned to react if the woman broke the “agreement.”
