As far as I understand, "encouraging" here is referring to offering free access to tests that screen for this genetic disorder (among many others), and free access to at-will abortion (up to some fetal age). Or is there some kind of campaign saying "mothers, Abort every fetus with Down's syndrome!" that has gone unmentioned?

I believe that is the concern yes, is that they're encouraged to abort their baby and to view it as a treatment for the condition.
