In April of this year, Sarah Palin give birth to her fifth child, Trig, who was born premature with Down Syndrome. Recent statistics show that in the U.S., approximately 90% of Down Syndrome diagnoses end with the mother choosing abortion. Palin on her family’s reaction to the diagnosis, in her own words:

“We knew through early testing he would face special challenges, and we feel privileged that God would entrust us with this gift and allow us unspeakable joy as he entered our lives. We have faith that every baby is created for good purpose and has potential to make this world a better place. We are truly blessed.” (April 18, 2008, Anchorage Daily News)

Sorry, I know I've been posting this on multiple threads, but this is the only chance. Strike while the iron is hot!)

Too bad that Governor Palin is not at the top of the ticket...

I love it when a family looks at children as human beings, not as a political impediment or disadvantage.

Democrats ought to be ashamed of themselves.

As a new mom, how are you going to juggle all this?

Libs just never consider, think or contemplate that the Dad could be in the picture.

Excerpt:

Where do your children’s names come from?

TODD: Sarah’s parents were coaches and the whole family was involved in track and I was an athlete in high school, so with our first-born, I was, like, ‘Track!’ Bristol is named after Bristol Bay. That’s where I grew up, that’s where we commercial fish. Willow is a community there in Alaska. And then Piper, you know, there’s just not too many Pipers out there and it’s a cool name. And Trig is a Norse name for “strength.”

She is AWESOME!!! And her husband is as well-spoken as she is!

This is a genuinely pro-life ticket. And I don’t mean that strictly in the sense of being anti-abortion, but these folks know what loving life and, at the same time, being willing to sacrifice really means. McCain showed that he was willing to lay down his freedom and possibly his life for his fellow soldiers by refusing to be released from the Hanoi Hilton before his fellow POWs. Governor Palin showed that she is willing to sacrifice for the rest of her life for the sake of her baby with Down syndrome.

Each one made a free choice to truly sacrifice for what is right.

Freepers, this is the pro-life movement’s greatest hour. We cannot, cannot lose this election to Senator Infanticide. Please go right now to http://www.johnmccain.com/ and give until hurts.

Int he box labeled “referred by” write “Sarah Palin.”

Great. Cindy McCain is well-spoken, too. They are very attractive families.

>Do you worry that people may wonder if she’ll be giving short shrift to her family?<

only hours after the announcement and the msm is focused on the negative.

Once Sarah’s life story and her personality get out to the masses in through the MSM in places like People Magazine...the more they will love her.

I’ve been advocating for her as the VP choice ever since I first read about her on FR and Rush’s show.

Perfect....and genuine.

Mrs. McCain, do you even remember the last time he changed a diaper?
CINDY: No. And I'm not sure he does.
JOHN: Heh-heh. I remember. There's some experiences you never forget.


Isn't that the truth?

I would LOVE to be on the campaign bus with them for just one day. It's going to be real. I like that everyone has a cool sense of humor. And Todd Palin is as handsome as Sarah is pretty.

McCain & Palin 2008.
Sarah Palin & Jeff Sessions 2012!

Sitting back and looking at this, I believe this was the best running mate McCain could have picked.

This woman is incredible, because of who she is and what she has done!

This presidential race has been turned upside down!

Doesn’t get more sexist than that.
I suppose the Kennedy’s should have dropped out of sight since they had families the size of baseball teams.
No one asked Al Gore how he was going to manage the VP slot with all his kids.

The Democrats have been desperately trying to glue all the pieces of the Glass Ceiling back together all day.
