I think it's up to couples to decide on that. I know my girlfriend wouldn't abort a kid because he was an handicap but that's just her. To each his own.
Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster. And if you gaze long enough into an abyss, the abyss will gaze back into you

First, the idea that a guy who will never have to face the decision on his own should be advising others what decision they should make is silly.
Second, as a public figure, he had to know what sort of stir this sort of comment would raise.  RE: Dawkins sparks outrage for saying Down Syndrome babies should be aborted

I couldn't require a couple to maintain a pregnancy with some hinky prenatal test results.
I find gender selection odious, although it seems males are preferred so it improves odds for my tribe.

I've said it before: Richard Dawkins is kind of a dick...

I recall a certain political leader from the 20th century also being quite fond of eugenics.
But if we walk in the light, as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, His Son, purifies us from all sin.

Might be interesting to speculate what Prof Dawkins could have said had he not been limited to 140 characters:

At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'
