The Trig Palin Effect

Washington Times ^ | 10-12-08 | Daniel Allott

[Wolf13]

Sarah Palin is not the only one. Right now 400,000 mothers are going through the same experiences every day - the simple joys, the profound challenges, the unexpected blessings. Ann Robertson is one of them. Like Mrs. Palin, Mrs. Robertson recently gave birth to a child with Down syndrome.

When Mrs. Robertson heard Mrs. Palin was selected as the Republican Party's nominee for vice president, her emotions jumped quickly, from surprise, to joy, to tears. "Whether or not people are going to vote for her, we [mothers of children with DS] all were excited," she said.

October is National Down Syndrome Awareness month. But nothing has done as much recently to raise the public's awareness of Down syndrome as events a month earlier. Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin's political rise has placed the glaring spotlight of the media on the entire Palin family, and not least on its youngest member, 6-month-old Trig, who was born with Down syndrome.

Mrs. Palin's emergence has also cast a soft, revealing light on a hitherto neglected issue: Down syndrome abortions. America's epidemic of Down syndrome abortions disregards not only the sanctity of human life but also the profound contributions that persons with Down syndrome offer to the lives of those they touch.

Sarah having Trig has touched women in America in a way that no amount of political rhetoric can or will change. Deeply. Morally. Soulfully.

And that B*TCH sallquinn still insisting Sarah ought to have had an abortion or at least not be running for political office with ‘that’ child.

[ArrogantBustard]

Trig Palin is more fit to be President of the United States than Barak Hussein 0bama.

I hope all of you will go to this site and see what the Catholics have done to encourage their 67 million people on election day. They don't say how to vote but they sure do get their message across.

I agree. If the choice is to comport yourself like Palin or Obama when it comes to the unborn, Sarah is the example I'd chose to follow.

[JimSEA]

I am greatly concerned for children like Trig in the future should socialized medicine and the neo-utilitarianism which must accompany it comes into further vogue in this country. We will find lies, manipulation, and coercion directed toward forcing abortions in this situation. Euthanasia is a necessary accompaniment to coerced abortion. All morality will collapse into a brutal calculation of situations thought to produce the greatest balance of benefits over harms for the greatest number. In practice, of course, the “greatest number” becomes always favors the new elites.
