pro-lifers don't consistently refuse pre-natal testing...
I don't know many that are against it per se. What they ARE against is aborting on the basis of the results.
I don't know any pro-lifer, religious or not, who is against parents finding out their kid has Down's or spina bifida or what have you through pre-natal testing. Some want to know so that they have more time to make preparations necessary for a special-needs child, and some (especially women who have miscarried before) do not want to take the risk of an amnio.
It's not that different from parents wanting to know if it's a boy or girl before it's born--just like pro-choicers, some pro-lifers want to know, some don't.
