OMG... I've thought this very thing. And, people have responded similarly to the way people have here.
The way I see it, if someone doesn't have the $$ to take the test, how in the world can they have enough $$ to raise a child? They can't. It's completely fair (and in the best interest of the child) to discriminate against those people.
I know it sounds awful, but, kstar said, maybe parenting should be viewed as a priviledge, not a right. If only there were a way to have parental screening for every couple interested in having children -- not just those who are adopting!
Maybe this at-birth-fixing should happen only to men -- then maybe they'd understand why some women (regardless of whether or not they think abortion is moral) are against the government (or anyone for that matter) deciding what can or can't happen to her body.
This little rant was kinda off topic. Sorry.
