The author himself might not have an argument, but many liberals did have an argument with Sarah Palin because she chose to reproduce a child certain that it had a form of genetic disability. That tells us virtually all we need to know about modern progressives whom we used to call liberals. It tells me all I need to know about the visceral hatred Sarah Palin aroused in a class we now once again in our history call "progressives" merely by her decision to carry a baby to term knowing that it had down syndrome.
Of course liberals-I mean progressives, don't admit to this, rather they shriek in indignation when they are accused of it but there can be no other explanation for their mindless loathing of Sarah Palin, a loathing which surpasses mere political difference of opinion.
Why is this so, why do the liberals hate her so just because she declined to practice eugenics? Because her action was a reproach to them and threatened what they cherish most: the unquestioned, unfettered prerogative to play God. There is no single thing man (or in this case, woman) can do which more arrogates the power of God then the power to grant or withhold life. Hence there shrieking adherence to abortion.
"Eugenicist is just another name for "God player."
What's the point of knowing the probable possibility of a child getting some genetically determined disease? That knowledge is useless to me if God-forbid one of my children suffers from that disease. I'd much rather have medicine focus on treating these diseases instead.
