Whether or not Gov. Palin chose to have a baby with Down Syndrome
is of course her choice. I would never dream of telling a women
whether or not she should have a child. But, I think it is important
to know about this choice in that it shows how vehement she is on the
topic of abortion. Her right-wing views on abortion and other topics
are out of sync with most women in this country.
I find it odd that someone with a four-month old special needs
child would embark on a presidential election campaign. Her husband
works full-time as well.
