O.K. the big 3 come up with a new business plan and Congress responds with a $25 billion load. What then? If the financial system doesn't free up money for loans (they got $300 billion, remember?) the big 3 will go down. We can produce all of the manufacturing products imagianable but if consumers have no money to purchase these goods, we're still in trouble. The economy, with all of it's problems, is a big system and SOMEONE needs to stop this shotgun approach to solving individual problems and look at what's best for the big picture. My advice is a bottom up approach - help the consumers with jobs, health care, mortgages and I bet the outlook improves.
More than likely there may have been an untrasound performed on or before three months that may have shown potential complications. It would be normal, then, to actually follow up with amnio. Ultrasounds are pretty routine in the early months of any pregnancy.
