They've already done research on this. And most people indeed do choose to terminate pregnancy if they the test came back positive.

http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/j.1542-2011.2011.00109.x/abstract

23%-33% of prospective parents said they would terminate
46%-86% of parents with increased risk would terminate
89%-97% did terminate when they received positive diagnosis.

What people say and do are two different things. I somewhat lean against not terminating myself but I don't blame people that would terminate.

The last figure also puts me in doubt that 40-50% of people are truly "pro-life".
