Mother hits out at doctors who pressure women into having abortions

A mother who has a child with Down's syndrome has spoken out about how doctors have tried to pressure her into screening her unborn baby.

She said that to protect herself from attempts to persuade her to have an abortion she made sure her medical records clearly stated she did not wish to be screened. Despite this, doctors still asked if they wanted the test after they found out her daughter Scarlett has Down's syndrome.

The mother, Emma, said: "The GP told me they will want to screen me nice and early to make sure this baby doesn't also have it.

‘It is hurtful, I love Scarlett, she’s amazing. Why wouldn’t I want another child exactly like her?

Emma and Scarlett appear in tonight's documentary "A World Without Down's Syndrome?"
