No worries! Thank you for the explanation of where you came from.

I'm assuming that since Palin is anti-contraception, she didn't actually plan to have this child -- she just got pregnant, and then being strictly pro-choice, she couldn't terminate the pregnancy. Because otherwise, yes, one would think that four normal healthy children would be enough and she wouldn't risk having a fifth.

I liked the kids with Down's syndrome that I worked with. But the quality of their life was low enough that I don't think a woman is justified in forcing that sort of life on someone, which is what she does when she gives birth to a disabled child.

I know there are rumors going around that she's not McCain's REAL pick and that she'll step down close to election time and he'll show off someone more palatable. I hope that's true because if she ends up VP and McCain keels over while in office, good bye reproductive rights.

I just feel sorry for the kid, most of all. He didn't have a choice in being born.

Thanks for the feedback on Biden, and for your comment!
