Can't you read it again?
It's an ideology or idea that seeks to create a better society trough the prevalence or majority of individuals with more desirable traits in detriment of individuals with less desirable traits.
Ok, if that is all, then I reject your claim that couples choosing which fetus to keep is in general eugenics. I don't think that couples who make that decision are thinking about the gene pool. They think about what their child is going to do when they are not there for it any more one day, the emotional burden, the suffering that might come with a disability, and yes, maybe also economic aspects. But improving the gene pool? If it plays a role I don't think it is a big one.
