What they were focusing on in their reporting, though, was the children that slipped through in the screening because the parents were deemed low risk. What they weren't discussing was the possibility of pregnancy terminations that did not involve children with the syndrome. So the CBS reporting is not inaccurate, but the Daily Wire decided to editorialize the CBS piece based only on that information and not actually looking into any further detail.
Definitely one of those situations where you need to check your sources, and is a good reason why aggregate sites like the Daily Wire where they editorialize on news stories are a horrible source, because they don't do any actual investigation into the story and so don't understand the whole picture.
The Daily Wire deliberately misrepresented the entire prenatal genetic screening process. Anyone who reads their article in the OP is misinformed. Deliberately. People are now discussing abortions based upon the suspicion of Down Syndrome which is absolutely incorrect.
What is worse than people saying, "I don't know" based upon a lack of information is someone claiming, "I know" based upon deliberate lies. Daily Wire readers actually know less about how the process works thanks to reading the Daily Wire.
