we're essentially removing them from the gene pool

I don't think Downs works like that.

It's already being removed, since people choose abortion over downs and since people with Downs don't have children (normally).

It is not hereditary. It's an error or mutation that can occur for anyone. The chances are higher the older the parents are.
