"Negative eugenics aimed to eliminate, through sterilization or segregation, those deemed physically, mentally, or morally "undesirable". This includes abortions, sterilization, and other methods of family planning."

International Eugenics Conferences presented a global venue for eugenicists, with meetings in 1912 in London, and in 1921 and 1932 in New York City.
Eugenic policies in the United States were first implemented by state-level legislators in the early 1900s.
[34] Eugenic policies also took root in France, Germany, and Great Britain.
[35] Later, in the 1920s and 1930s, the eugenic policy of
sterilizing certain mental patients was implemented in other countries including Belgium,
[36] Brazil,
[37] Canada,
[38] Japan and
Sweden.
Frederick Osborn's 1937 journal article "Development of a Eugenic Philosophy" framed eugenics as a
social philosophy—a philosophy with implications for
social order.
[39] That definition is not universally accepted. Osborn advocated for higher rates of
sexual reproduction among people with desired traits ("positive eugenics") or reduced rates of sexual reproduction or
sterilization of people with less-desired or undesired traits ("negative eugenics"). "
This is all about parents with undesirable traits, not aborting children with disabilities. this just doesnt apply to what we were talking about. but nice try i guess (not really)

no, since down syndrome is not heritable, and eugenics is all about selecting favorable heritable traits.
you are wrong, and this still doesnt say anything regarding the point that sience works. you are just deflecting from the point attacking dawkins character

if christans got into science fields and took over to parrot their beliefs then yea would reject in such instances
religious scientists more often than not reinterpret a literalist interpretation of passages contrary to the scientific research. and other reasonable religious people do as well. i've seen someone reinterpret adam and eve story to be indicative of evolution.

so basically just modern women in the late 2000s
so no poor dudes,no 6 foot dudes,no dudes who dont make six figures,no dudes without a 6 pac
uhm, i think only height might be heritable there, so no. making six figures and working out arent heritable traits that can be selectively bred.
