"Almost all women in this nation now receive ultrasounds during the course of their pregnancy and you know, a number of things can be picked up on those ultrasounds, one of which is hydrocephalus. And almost uniformly, when there is an indication of hydrocephalus a recommendation for termination is made. ... A significant number of those patients who decide not to go the abortion route, it turns out, end up with children who are normal, who never required a shunt, never required anything, and yet had come to see me for a recommendation for abortion."
