How many Christians on here would terminate a pregnancy because the baby had an abnormality?

And, for those of you who wouldn't, how many would take an invasive test to tell you that the baby was normal/abnormal when that test carried an increased risk, albeit a small risk, of miscarriage; tests such as chorionic villus sampling or amniocentisis? Please understand that this is not a judgemental question but one of genuine interest. As a Christian I could not personally go down that route, however, as a practising midwife I recognise that every woman has the right to make that choice for herself as only she, and her family, have to live with the result of that decision. I also believe that as an imperfect human it is not my place to judge. Only God has that right.
