Yea, I know go ahead and blast away, but talk about a slippery slope.

I really feel bad for those individuals. I wish them well and hope they do receive the care needed, God knows they deserve it. But as somebody already said, it's pretty obvious that they had a lot of help in coming up with this.
On second thought, maybe it is a slippery slope. As Maroon300D stated so well, a risk of Downs Syndrome seems like a poor reason to terminate a pregnancy. None of these types of cases are going anywhere unless a doctor was negligent, but there is still the question of which pre-natal scenarios justify abortion and which don't.
