Why don't you stop changing the subject. This is about the use of the word, if you want to argue that Palin's little baby shouldn't be here that's fine. But it'll reflect poorly on you.
Where did I mention abortion? Get your spin out of it.
Not for abortion but giving a baby the best chance of a healthy birth.
Yes it is her right to do smoke and drink to the ride to the maternity floor am just saying it is retarded..................
There.
It is just fantastic that Palin has decided to become the spokesman for children who are developmently disabled. But odd she has never mentioned anything about the increasing risks of having a child with Down's Syndrome as a woman ages. If she was such an advocate she should be concerned too about giving a kid the best chance possible..
But this isnt really about the kids, this is about political mainstaging.
Why don't you educate yourself. Compare the odds of having a baby with chromosomal damage at age 45 vs 20. Was it worth it?
He just might be on to something......

Nothing like a thread about the most vulnerable people in our society to bring out the assholes.

Note that the risk increases steadily from the teens on. It doesn't suddenly jump at age 40.
What is the right odds? How does one decide when the risk is too high?
Nope. She should have been mature enough to avoid pregnancy at her age.
I'm quite aware of the odds, son. I know more about this than you ever will.
I also know that the majority of kids with Down syndrome are born to women in their 20s, not their 40s, by the way.
What is the percentages of the women in 20's compared to women in 40's having a child with Down's syndrome?
You seem to know so much about this subject.
By the way , only a coward punk uses expletives at someone on the computer.
In real life, you would not say that to my face, trust me.
Telling someone they should avoid pregnancy b/c they might have a Down's Syndrome child is retarded.
And arrogant.
You wanted a number, I gave you one. The older a woman gets the greater chance of DS.
Retarded is a so called college educated mid forties female allowing herself to become pregnant with the severe odds of having a child with chomosomal defect. There is your retard.
This is certainly true. Something else to think on is that there are more Downs babies born to women in their 20s simply because more women that age have babies. For this reason a woman, say 17 years old, is not immune to having a Down's child.
