Go to the second photo down on this thread. It is the enlarged area of Sarah's tummy. Click on that photo and it will go to a larger view of the photo. Hit your “Ctrl” button at the same time, scrolling your mouse wheel. It will change the enlargement of the photo. Enlarge to maximum value. Use the arrows to get to the area where the lapel meets with Sarah's dark blouse. You will see a fuzzy, pixtilated area in that area where the lapel meets with the blouse. Move up and down that area. You will see the pixtilated area get wider and abruptly get smaller. This is evidence of photo shopping my friend.
Is THAT quote from the article? Total nonsense. The cases are totally the opposite. Don't know any teens/young women that have had Down's Syndrome children. Know 3-4 women that had late-in-life babies with DS, even a case where one twin had Down's and the other did not.
Oh Lord this is hilarious.
I never want to hear a liberal talk about The Crazy in reference to right-wingers again.
Yeah - book suppositories affect my spine...
I still think Business Insider “articles” should be posted as blog entries, not news. This story just adds credence to that thought.
Meanwhile, the article pretty much gives the ultimate debunking of the stupid conspiracy. Bristol Palin WAS PREGNANT when Trig was born. Sorry, but there’s no way you can give birth to a kid while you are pregnant with a new kid. It is a scientific impossibility.
And apparently, whoever compared pictures is completely clueless as to the nature of pregnancy and how different body types carry babies in different ways. And also apparently clueless about all the stories about girls giving birth who nobody ever knew were pregnant, even after they give birth.
Why? how does her parentage of a child have anything to do with anything?
Maybe someone should ask Obama to prove his kids are his. After all, he actually IS president, and his kids are getting public housing and taxdollars paying for secret service — so there is MORE of a reason for Obama to “prove” that those kids are his.
But nobody will EVER ask him to prove his kids are his, because the whole idea is STUPID.
Now, if you find the statistics for Down’s children born to a 20-year-old, that might be relevant.
I didn’t know pissant had been banned. So I learned something here.
I see he got canned in a birther argument. Although he seems to have fallen on the sword of arguing to strongly for a rape exception for abortion, defending Allen West who was actually asking to move focus away from the birther arguments.
It’s a strange world. I never would have guessed pissant would get banned for an abortion argument.
Um, are you having reading comprehension problems? Bad case of the Mondays?
I wrote (in the post you responded to):
Maternal age influences the chances of conceiving a baby with Down syndrome. At maternal age 20 to 24, the probability is one in 1562
It's right there, in black and white. A 20 year old has a 1:1562 chance of conceiving a Down Syndrome baby.
There was absolutely no need for you to take an insulting tone. If you wanted a different piece of information, or clarification, you could have asked nicely.
I didn’t mean the tone to be insulting, I apologize for that.
But the remark stands. Your comment made the point that looking at probabilities didn’t tell the whole story.
You then said “Although the probability increases with maternal age, 80% of children with Down syndrome are born to women under the age of 35,”
What you need to make that point is what percentage of children with down syndrome are born to 20-year-old girls, NOT the percent of children born to 20-year-old girls who have downs syndrome. Although if we had the number of births to 20-year-old-girls, we could figure out the other thing.
My point was that, while it is more likely that a downs syndrome child was born to an under-35 mother than an over-35 mother, what we want to know is whether it was more likely a down syndrome child was born to a 20-year-old or a 40+ year-old.
It’s really your point, focused on the actual situation.
“One witness did see the live birth at a grassy knoll.”
He wasn’t one of those accidental deaths by karate chop to the neck, was he?
No, pissant got banned for making a lesbian remark about Sarah Palin.

That’s interesting. I didn’t even interpret his remark that way — I thought he was just bringing up that Tammy was her friend and the whole incident about whether Sarah supported Tammy’s tweet or not regarding DADT.
I guess my mind isn’t purile enough to get that without it being pointed out.
It’s funny since pissant was, for the most part, against Sarah because he was sure she was too liberal, as were most candidates.
Oh well, there go half the Duncan Hunter supporters. :-)
My fault, I dish out a lot of sarcasm myself and should have caught that.
