In regards to your post on my piece, please see where I wrote: "While the 90 percent figure may vary by region, parental income and political ideology..."
You are correct. According to the literature on this topic, income does have an impact. I also linked to the Douthat piece and he discusses the cost factor from the perspective that, as costs come down, a range of prenatal testing that is currently only available to the very wealthy will become more common.
Hope that helps.
Many thanks for being an active participant on the forum.
