I think you may be right about this. I was 38 when I had my 2nd child, and the dr told me I was pretty much required to have an amniocentesis done. So I went, but here's the kicker... the only benefit of the test, (among many horrible risks), was that I would find out if my child had any defects. I was like, 'aaand?' I was told that if there were problems, I'd have the option of terminating the pregnancy. Well, I'm not judging people who make this decision, but for me, almost 7 months, is way too late for that. Anyway, I refused the test and went on my merry way. But my point is this...a lot of people don't see much difference between a 7 month term and a newborn. Babies have very little value in this society. JMO.
