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...

I think it's a microcosm that is more aware of the effects than a population who (mistakenly) thinks the decisions they make are the reasons they experience specific effects, as opposed to the flow of individuals in and out of a virtual bounds of a larger population with very minor influence on socio-political issues.

Good luck with whatever.
