URead an article somewhere that a woman was not allowed to abort (she was 20ish weeks pregnant) court dragged the case with tests after tests and concluded that there is no severe harm to mothers or child’s life and prevented abortion

UThe foetus was diagnosed via an antenatal confirmatory test at 22 weeks…The tests were reordered by the Supreme Court, which the family could only approach at 24 weeks, and were conducted at Mumbai’s KEM Hospital.…To add to this delay, the Supreme Court ordered another medical report, which was completed by the 25th week of pregnancy. During the 26th week, the Supreme Court passed its judgment.…
My understanding is- they approached at 22 weeks, but the process of receiving permission to perform abortion was dragged until week 26 (at which point they denied abortion citing the 24 weeks shebang). That is a result of inefficient bureaucracy for which the parents will have to bear the burden.

STill 24 weeks you can abort for any reason. Need only one doctors opinion till 20 weeks, and 2 doctors for 20-24 weeks. After 24 weeks abortions are allowed for only therapeutic or eugenic reasons for which a medical board is set up with a set of doctors and you need permission from court. Down’s syndrome is not necessarily a life threatening condition so it entirely depends on what the judges decide.

Uat week 20, there is a scan which is done just to diagnose downs syndrome, its done so that u can then take decision to abort or not, so yes its possible to abort , the process is designed as such.

II don’t know your background, But I am sure you must be aware these tests are carried out after each result which only mentions the probability & percentile.
Nothing is certain & lastly it’s will of universe, In my opinion don’t let it go so easily based on just mathematical statistics.
As these tests called as Double / Triple marker tests may or may not be accurate always. -

UTriple marker can be done as early as 10-12 weeks into the pregnancy. Taking my wife for the same in a couple of weeks. Wish us luck. 🤞🏽

UWife’s pregnant currently. There’s dual marker test at week 12. It gave low risk for down syndrome. No action taken
16 week scan- calcium deposit in child’s heart. Low risk marker but since two risk markers so suggested for NIPT or amniocentesis.
Nipt- blood test, can be done anytime. Result will take 2 weeks. 98% accuracy for detection. Also sample failure rate of 4% so might take two more week for final result.Amniocentesis – invasive procedure. Sample is taken from fluid surrounding the child. Risk percentage of 0.5%. Result in 4 days. 100% accuracy
Can have one more test along with this same sample for more detailed risk profile.We took the invasive procedure path to relieve us of mental tension as soon as possible.
Got the result for down syndrome and detailed gene profile one as well before 19 th week is finished.
