I'm also not saying Iceland is a terrible place because women choose to abort an unborn child with Down Syndrome. I'm saying it seems that if a country has a 100%, or approaching 100%, kill rate for fetuses with Down Syndrome, then there is apparently pressure on pregnant women to 1) have the testing done 2) kill their fetus if the test is positive It is the pressure that is evil. From my link above: That doesn't sound to me like 100 percent.

I know many women who've had the test; all but one woman I know (the very devout Catholic) said she would have aborted if her baby had Downs (which is why they had the test in the first place). I do think it's a common decision, where women have the choice.
Point being, there need not be pressure for women to make that choice. But yes, pressure on anyone to have an abortion when she doesn't want one is very wrong.
