Couldn't she have a blood test now to check for Anti D antibodies in her system?

No D & C was performed.   She is concerned now her future pregnancy will be affected.  Her partner is + ve grp. What does she need to do to confirm whether her subsequent preg are at risk? How risky is this for her and babe? During TOP or miscarriages does much of the fetus blood pass into the mothers circulation?   Thanks for your help!, Kristin Hot chart ringtones and polyphonics.
