Some raised concerns about the high rate of abortions for unborn children prenatally diagnosed with the condition.

That number is roughly 67 percent in the United States. A recent CBS report found a near 100 percent abortion rate for those diagnosed with the condition in Iceland. Denmark has a 98 percent abortion rate following screening and diagnosis of the condition and in France the number is 77 percent.
