Apparently he elaborated his position a little later:
> Given a free choice of having an early abortion or deliberately bringing a Down child into the world, I think the moral and sensible choice would be to abort.
> For what it’s worth, my own choice would be to abort the Down fetus and, assuming you want a baby at all, try again.
