Alan Colmes stated that Palin’s child was born with Down’s Syndrome because she “didn’t take proper natal care”. If Hannity doesn’t demand a retraction and an apology on-air next time H&C is on, I’m sending Hannity a series of e-mails until he does.
Gee, Alan. I have about 500 medical books here in my library and I have read them too. I have never, ever read that the cause of Trisomy 21 was due to failing to 'take care of herself natally". In fact I looked just tonight in several genetics books, pediatrics books and Harrisons Book of Internal Medicine, as well as Obstetrical textbooks.....none of them say that. Will you come to our next continueing medical education seminar and tell several thousand of us that you have discovered the absolute cause of Down's.
Just for your own edification, Alan, "natal care" is care at and after birth. Prenatal care is prior to birth. So how did Mrs.Palin force a third chromosome to become part of Trigs genome? Did she do that at fertilization or did she do it to about a trillion cells all at once as the baby was born (natal)?
Proper prenatal care means abortion to Colmes.
