How is that any worse than aborting a baby based on some other more arbitrary reason?  (Ie not rape or danger to the mother)

How is a teenager aborting a baby with a disability worse than aborting a "normal" baby?

because it's eugenics.

eugenicists are scum and anyone who believes in any kind of eugenics will burn in hell.

if God doesn't put eugenicists in hell, then God is evil and needs to be overthrown.

Some people are fine with raising a child with Down's syndrome.
I wouldn't be, but I'm not positive I'd have it aborted. maybe I'd give it up for adoption.
Who's going to adopt a child with Down's?

Growing up I knew this family.

I can't at all claim I wouldn't be disappointed or scared to raise a child with down syndrome, but I also believe there can be a unique value in raising a child with a disability like that.
