I ask what do people actually do

That depends on what will insurance pay for and what the parents themselves want. A woman I know who was pregnant about 10 years ago got 5-6 tests as a default (given her insurance, her obstetrician, etc.). Another woman who is still pregnant at the moment got over 10 tests as a default a few months ago.

what do people actually protest

People who protest are typically pro-life people and they protest anything which could possibly lead to a voluntary abortion.
