Well, I can imagine the shock for Kolo, who was a father of a Down's syndrome baby at 32. Having children at that age for a woman is not a significant risk. The incidence is about 1 in 1,000 births. At 43, when Sarah Palin had her child, the incidence is 1 in 35 births. Salin had no reason to be shocked, as that was a very real possibility and something she should have been prepared to deal with from the moment she found out that she was pregnant.
Either way, as a religious person she had no reason or justification to be shocked or saddened. Otherwise, all this talk about faith is lip service.
That said, I never suggested anything negaive about Down's syndrome babies, so your post makes aboslutely no sense whatsoever vis-a-vis my post #266.
My friends with the Downs adult are wonderful Christian people who have served God as missionaries and in their every day lives. I just said that she also was shocked and saddened, as you said Mrs.Palin was but shouldn’t have been. You can have all kinds of faith but sometimes things happen that hurt. It’s how she dealt with it that really matters in the long run.
