You are so off base it isn’t even funny. Nice to know that you think having a down’s syndrome child is the same as a child born addicted or with fetal alcohol syndrome. One never justs “pumps out” a baby. If you are a man you are ignorant. If you are a woman and you have children then you are a danger.

Fertility is always a threat to those confused on issues of sexual morality.

I didn’t say they’re “the same”. But having (or adopting) a child with any of these conditions, or just large numbers of healthy normal children, should involve recognition that providing proper care to the child(ren) will require arranging one’s life around them.

With mom pursuing a high-profile and time-consuming political career, and dad purusing an career than involves being off in the oil fields for days or weeks at a time, the children are either being nanny-raised or left to their own devices. It’s plain to see what the outcome has been for Bristol, and there’s no sign that either of the Palin parents are responding to this by changing their priorities as their next two daughters enter/approach adolescence. This is hardly “devoted motherhood” (or fatherhood). The needs of the Palin children are not being allowed to interfere with their parents’ outside pursuits. If a woman calling herself a Democrat and feminist was running her family life this way, conservatives would be howling about her family being an example of how leftism and feminism are destroying the fabric of society.
