Christ you people are freaking out over this. It's a heads up system, although outdated, that was put in place to save lives. How many average people with a high school, or less education would even think that incompatible blood types could kill both child and mother?
Did you think about it?
I would assume that 40+ years ago, when this was probably put into place, pregnant women didn't go to the doctor until something was wrong, or when they were ready to give birth.
You don't "flunk" it and get denied the right to marry, it's just there to say "Hey, if you do get pregnant, be sure to tell your doctor about this".
