Down's Syndrome is a genetic condition that happens mostly in women giving birth that are over 35 years old......The older a woman is when she becomes pregnant the higher the risk of giving birth to a child with Down's Syndrome. At 44 I am not at all surprised that her (Sarah's ) adorable son has DS,
Now if her daughter had the baby I would be shocked that it was diagnosed with Down's Syndrome.
I have had mono and it is a horrible virus, I was out of work for 6 weeks and suffered with symptoms for up to two years.
By looking at the facts in a honest, logical way it is clear that this story is false.

You know, who cares... We as parents can guide our children and pray that they make the right choices. We cannot, however, force our beliefs on our children. If they fall, then we pick them back up and move on with things. Maybe her lying, if that was has happened, about her daughter's pregnancy was to protect her daughter, not herself. Can you imagine the limelight that her daughter will have to live in with this whole mess? Sheesh! I would hope that people won't judge this woman according to the mistakes that her daughter has made. I'm sure her stance still stands on anti-abortion (she didn't have her daughter get one, right?), birth control, and an abstinence only approach. Like I said before, we cannot force our beliefs on our children. We can teach, nurture, and guide but that's it! At least she has stood by her daughter and not forsaken her. That by itself, is all I need to know.

Well said!

IF it's not her child to begin with, it was never her choice.

There are plenty of mothers of young teens who force, coerce, guilt, threaten to abandon, disown(yes that still happens) etc their daughters to have abortions whether they want to or not.


Anyway, it IS interesting. It will further be interesting to see what comes of it, and whether it is proven or disproven.​

Perhaps that does put an end to the original rumor????

Well there you go! Sheesh! I'm glad that's solved. By the way, my suspicions of Palin being the type of mother that would stand by her daughter were absolutely correct. Just read this statement she made from the article.

"Our beautiful daughter Bristol came to us with news that as parents we knew would make her grow up faster than we had ever planned. As Bristol faces the responsibilities of adulthood, she knows she has our unconditional love and support," the Palins said.​

Interesting how the truth can be twisted to suit the needs...eh?

I'm sure that there are many people frantically combing her past (and present) to find dirt that they can use but I think they will find very little.

That was fast! YAY! Glad that was cleared up!

Here! Here! I stand right beside you on that point. Unfortunately it's the name of the game.

folks over 40 having babies have a higher risk of downs and other things happening.(which becomes a personal choice of whether to try and get pregnant at that age or not- my opinion is it's a personal choice and no right or wrong answer) There are much worse things for sure for instance being nominated for vice president and having silly crap like this be bantered about.
