Pretty sure they're not the same thing at all. DS is a defect that sets people up at a disadvantage in life and a liability for their caregivers. I think it's reasonable to want to abort a baby with DS and it's not necessarily a slippery slope. It wouldn't be terribly difficult to establish guidelines on which conditions are abortable and which are not.
