Denmark offers public financed prenatal testing (PNT) to all pregnant women, but results are typically not available until after 12 weeks gestation, which is also the time limit for termination of pregnancy (TOP) on request. Committees decide on requests for later TOP. In a questionnaire survey, we investigated attitudes among Danes toward these issues. We also asked for opinions on two claims commonly found in the debate concerning women's right to decide on TOP in relation to PNT. One thousand people aged 18-45 years were drawn randomly from the national personal register. The response rate was 49%. Women and older respondents were overrepresented and may have caused a bias toward conservative attitudes. A majority supported the current PNT program and time limit for TOP on request, but only one-third supported committees deciding on all cases of late TOP. The implications of prenatal testing results becoming more accessible are discussed.
丹麦为所有孕妇提供公共资金资助的产前检测（PNT），但结果通常要在怀孕 12 周后才能获得，这也是根据要求终止妊娠（TOP）的时间限制。委员会决定对后期 TOP 请求进行审议。在问卷调查中，我们调查了丹麦人对这些问题的态度。我们还就与 PNT 相关的妇女决定 TOP 的权利辩论中常见的两个说法征求了意见。从全国个人登记册中随机抽取了 1000 名年龄在 18-45 岁之间的人。回应率为 49%。女性和年长的受访者人数过多，可能导致对保守态度的偏见。大多数人支持目前的 PNT 计划和根据要求终止妊娠的时间限制，但只有三分之一的人支持委员会决定所有晚期 TOP 请求。讨论了产前检测结果更容易获得的影响。
