That's plain wrong. For example, the overwhelming majority of people in Iceland supports abortion rights AND abortion of pregnancies where there is the potential for down syndrom and other larger disabilities. Same goes for me, in general.

I don’t understand how that makes me wrong.

> among people who support abortion, a decent proportion also oppose aborting fetuses because of disabilities

You made a claim, but without evidence. Iceland is a population, that demonstrates the contrary.

Not saying you're wrong, but the second sentence is suspect and it's not interesting to argue about why.

Do you think it’s interesting to respond to a general claim with a rebuttal based on a tiny and relatively insular population? The county I live in has 3x more people than the entirety of Iceland.

Here’s a poll of Americans that includes a question about aborting fetuses with Down Syndrome. 44% of pro-choice respondents oppose it. I’m not wrong and there’s no reason to find that sentence suspect. https://www.kofc.org/en/resources/communications/polls/maris...
