I keep hearing about Downs Syndrome babies

[undeterred]

It is a complex decision to keep a child with a genetic defect, especially if you have other children and a high voltage career. I've heard several women call in to talk shows and share how they really had to make a full time commitment to staying home with a Downs Syndrome child after it was born to make sure it would have a good quality of life. So while Palin make consider herself noble for deciding not to abort the child, this is really only the first step. I know we can't walk in someone elses shoes but we live in a day when so much information and help is available, and I just don't know how anyone can make this work. This baby deserves to be more than a campaign prop.

1. She will just hire someone to raise the kid...

...like she did her other children.

2. Anti-choicers only care that the baby is born, not what happens to it afterward.

3. There is plenty of information available on Downs Syndrome.

For starters, the name itself refers to a range of characteristics. "Range" is the key word; people with the syndrome are not all the same and do not all need the same type/level of care.
