Free software advocates seek removal of Richard Stallman and entire FSF board:
Richard Stallman's return to the Free Software Foundation's board of directors has drawn condemnation from many people in the free software community. An open letter signed by hundreds of people today called for Stallman to be removed again and for the FSF's entire board to resign.
The open letter said:
Richard M. Stallman, frequently known as RMS, has been a dangerous force in the free software community for a long time. He has shown himself to be misogynist, ableist, and transphobic, among other serious accusations of impropriety. These sorts of beliefs have no place in the free software, digital rights, and tech communities. With his recent reinstatement to the Board of Directors of the Free Software Foundation, we call for the entire Board of the FSF to step down and for RMS to be removed from all leadership positions.

Not quite. His actual writing is far more nuanced than that.
His opinion is that the state should not write rules around what the would be mother can or can't do if the test shows that the child to be may suffer that condition.
And yes, he does advocate against bringing the pregnancy to term. But that is not based on the evaluation of the potential worth of the person, but based on the potential suffering that the syndrome imparts on that person.
RMS' site, stallman.org, has a reasonably functioning search system, and his writing is more detailed there than any of the out of context "quotes" social media and mainstream media provides.
Keep in mind though that he writes "down's syndrome" not "downs' syndrome" when you go searching.
