Defiant Birth

If you want a taste of what's in the Defiant Birth book that was the subject of Rick's recent post, it includes a slightly edited version of this essay I wrote about my experiences with prenatal testing.  With that self-interest disclosed, I have to say that the book is truly excellent.  The introduction by the editor, Australian pro-life author and activist Melinda Tankard Reist, is a rich source of data and information about the eugenic trend of much of prenatal care.  The essays in the collection consist of contributions from women all over the world, conveying how universal and widespread these eugenic attitudes are.
