Maake, I can't find state-by-state statistics, though I imagine with you being in Utah you might have more luck tracking local ones down. But what I figure is that if the national stat cited by the medical literature - a 92% termination rate - is correct, then not only are almost all the pro-choice families chosing to end DS pregnancies, most the pro-life families are, too.
Incidentally, as of 1985 Utah had the lowest incidence of DS in the country.
