I want to have Sarah Palin's baby

I don't mean that in a romantic way. I'm talking about Trigg. How cute is he! No doubt even the most avid pro-abortionist was thinking as much when little Trigg was on the convention stage with the rest of the Palin family. I wouldn't be surprised if Palin's choice started a new fad: Everyone is going to want to get themselves a Down Syndrome baby—a breed that's almost extinct, with 80 to 90 percent of pregnancies being terminated when the prenatal test shows Down.

As mother of a Down Syndrome child Patricia Bauer wrote in the Washington Post in 2004: "Prenatal testing is making your right to abort a disabled child more like 'your duty' to abort a disabled child…At a dinner party not long ago, I was seated next to the director of an Ivy League ethics program. In answer to another guest's question, he said he believes that prospective parents have a moral obligation to undergo prenatal testing and to terminate their pregnancy to avoid bringing forth a child with a disability, because it was immoral to subject a child to the kind of suffering he or she would have to endure."

I can certainly understand that rational for knowing, but I just didn’t want to know. I think I figured that the challenges would be there regardless and I was already nervous about it as it was.

I think it’s a matter of choice, but other than seeing those who have Downs Syndrome baby as “cruel”, I see them as heroes.

Everyone knows that chances of having a Down baby increase to 25% after age 40, so how could anyone doubt the baby belonged to 44 year-old Palin rather than 17 year-old Bristol?

I don't believe this is exactly correct.

Chance of a Downs Syndrome baby by age of mother:

17 - 1 in 1565

30 - 1 in 909

35 - 1 in 384

40 - 1 in 112

45 - 1 in 28

50 - 1 in 6

Odds get kind of scary out there on the end of the scale.
