No, now they just murder 90% of them in the womb. My wife and I have a child that was diagnosed in utero with defects. They talked to us one time about termination, they would never bring it up again. Our son is now 18 months and is the best thing that ever happened to us and our family. Those of us who have special needs children know the challenges involved. We know the fears that they will have to face a cruel and uncaring world. We also know the rewards are greater than anything else in life. Those of us who KNOW in advance that their child will have problems have even more respect for Ms. Palin because she too had the guts and faith to do the right thing.
Sarah Palin is something most people are not: BRAVE. That doesn't she has no fear, or that she knowingly seeks out dangerous or uncomfortable situations. It means that she has the guts to speak her mind and live her life by a set of principles and do so out in the open. This is something that most do not do, especially on anonymous Blogs with pseudonyms and no information on who you are or how you live your life on your profile page. Until we all start posting our names and home addresses, we are all a little more cowardly than Ms. Palin. As for complaining about unprovoked attacks on an innocent child with Down's Syndrome, the coward who would do so in my presents would not soon forget the life experience they would receive.
