"Pediatrician: Well, what I'm afraid of is that if women should be
choose--should choose to __________, but if they should not choose to
__________ for a very good reason, and end up with a bad outcome baby,
then the guilt that that mother would have would be excessive, and that
falls in the pediatrician's lap.  And more than that, society then,
having seen some of these negative ads, would give a perception of
failure to that parent.  It makes an unpleasant situation even more
unpleasant.
Interviewer: The last thing you want is a stigma on women who make the
choice
not to __________."

What words can we put in those blanks?
What very good reasons can we supply for those words we put in the blanks?
How would the pediatrician (it's in his lap now) respond to the parent who
feels like a failure (feels guilty) and resolve this unpleasant situation
so that mother doesn't feel guilty any more because she had very good
reasons for not __________ ?
