> "genocide" is extremely loaded That's fair, I was trying to frame it from the point of view of people who might disagree with it to answer OP's question. Might have come across a little strong, so we could call it a state sponsored eugenics programme, then. The systematic reduction or elimination from society a class of people deemed undesirable by the state through the funding of genetic tests and abortion services. > And being gay doesn't cause brutal, head to toe, lifelong (albeit a short life) material suffering in the individuals, like most cases of Down Syndrome do. It's not just cognitive issues, if you're unaware. I have known a number of people with downs syndrome who are very happy a lot of time time, and wonderful fun people too. And on the other hand, let's say trans people for example can suffer excruciating depression as well as physical suffering too. So my concern is valid. If people with downs cross some certain threshold dreamed up by state bureaucrats that others do not, that does not give me much comfort. Where exactly are these arbitrary lines drawn, who decides them, how might they change? Pretty concerning if you ask me, and I'm not anti-abortion nor even anti-abortion for this reason. Giving people information and freedom is one thing. Having the state encourage the abortion of classes of people it considers "undesirable" is quite another, IMO.
