Kate Cox, the Texas woman who sued the state to abort her child diagnosed with Trisomy 18, has been invited to the State of the Union speech, signaling the president’s intention to promote the abortion of babies who receive a prenatal diagnosis. At issue is Texas law, which permits physicians to make medical interventions to save the life or bodily function of a woman, even if these result in the unfortunate loss of her unborn child. Children’s prenatal conditions rarely pose a unique risk to the mother’s health, and Texas law does not permit the intentional ending of an unborn child’s life when the pregnancy does not threaten the mother’s health.
Parents who receive a prenatal diagnosis are frequently told their child’s condition is hopeless and treatment futile. Words such as lethal, fatal, and “incompatible with life” are used to describe their child. What they are often not told is the reality is not necessarily so bleak.
For starters, test results are not always accurate. Prenatal testing is often initiated in the first trimester of pregnancy using tests that are known to have very high false positive rates, as has been noted by peer-reviewed research, the Food and Drug Administration, and even the New York Times. Unfortunately, parents often are not aware of these test inaccuracies, resulting in needless trauma and, at times, the tragic abortion of healthy babies.
