No, it means that 90% of Americans who are pregnant with a Down's child abort it. You present no evidence that individuals pregnant with Down's children are a representative sample of Americans in general.
It is 90% of Americans. How could they not be "Americans in general"?
When you get down to it, what are the cases you would find it morally acceptable to kill a child?
-Rape
-Incest
-Mother's physical health
-Mother's mental health
-Economic reasons (mother may not be able to afford to care for it)
-Child diagnosed with a disability
-Mother just doesn't want it
-Teenage mother doesn't want her parents to find out she is pregnant

It's not morally acceptable to kill period.
Do you mean a baby born outside of the womb or a fetus?

It is 90% of Americans who are pregnant with a Down's child. This sample leaves out approximately 50% of our population who are male. It also leaves out most of the female population under 15 or over 50. Down's children are also more likely to be born to certain demographic groups than others.
I can't vote in this poll for two reasons. First, an embryo isn't a baby; and second because neither "all of the above" nor "keep your damned dogma out of my business!" are choices.
Ditto...we seem to be having a plethora of abortion threads Maybe the christian talliban is on high alert or something.

It is what it is, and 90% is a big number to be pro-choise. It just shows how say it is Easy to say something, but when you are placed in the same situation, you act just like the people you judged earlier.

Rape
Incest
Mothers health either way
Childs health either way
Before a fetus is capable of living independently outside the womb. Even then I'm not going to question if there is an unusual medical issue. It's really non of my business. We are obligated to look after those that are born but going further and that means going into someones body, which is way beyond our authority.
