palin and her infant

I found this reading the internet today. Social conservatives DO believe that mothers have a big role in an infants' life during their first year, but so do their fathers. I have read statements on a discussion board (liberals vs conservatives) that even Palin running for VP with a 4-month-old is irresponsible, much less giving birth to a child that she knew ahead of time was not genetically perfect.

I, for one, do not understand how Palin can breastfeed her child AND run for VP. I barely have time to do anything in my life working 30 hours a week with a baby of the same age. I suppose she will have a lot of help.

As for the issue of Down's Syndrome being irresponsible for her to go ahead and birth... well that's where I definitely draw the line. God makes no mistakes in life. If I knew ahead of time and knew I couldn't handle it? There are parents out there that will adopt a special needs child.

I guess it's hard to really believe someone could terminate once you can see the arms, legs, and head so easily. In fact just at 15 weeks when the first tests are run for genetic reasons, ours was already hiccuping and responding to the waves of the ultrasound. Go figure.

On another note with the whole definition of social conservative, it always gets me when capital punishment is thrown in there. I am not for that sort of death either. How can you be against abortion and for the death penalty? Doesn't make sense.

I will offer an alternative answer for the original blog's question of how she can do it? Well actually Governor Palin could pump her breastmilk every 3-5 hours at this point (no different than other things we do as humans routinely) and someone else could feed the baby her milk in a bottle. Easy enough.
