Currently there's nothing preventing a woman from aborting just because the baby will be born with a disability, so I'm not sure why that's being phrased as a hypothetical.

Killing infants for being disabled would be a sick throwback to a particular kind of barbarism of two thousand years ago, and I don't believe it's  morally right (though a legal right, rightly or wrongly, has been held to exist) to terminate a pregnancy for that reason, so I'm voting no.
