There wouldn't even be an article about it.<BR/><BR/>It would be seen as the sexist nonsense that it is.<BR/><BR/>This is still about prejudice against the disabled. The media need to lay off of Trig.Susanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09259422705314063194noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10381465.post-75206855330229585202008-09-08T12:28:00.002-07:002008-09-08T12:28:00.002-07:00My "love" for Sarah Palin has nothing to do with her son,Trig.

She obviously had prenatal testing, or else they wouldn't have known he had Down's ahead of time. Perhaps they will try to spin the sheer fact that she had the tests as her "considering her options" or something like that. In any event, my prediction is that they are running this story because they have something or other up their sleeve, however weak, that they think they can use to undermine her support with the pro-life base on the grounds of the birth of Trig.Lydia McGrewhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00423567323116960820noreply@blogger.com
