The US Presidential Race.

[Hory]

Now officially confirmed by the McCain campaign that Palin's daughter is pregnant

[Kryten]

So, kinda true - the 17 year old is pregnant, http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20080901/...itics_palin_dc

Damn you Hory!

I'm getting flashbacks to "The Amazing Mrs Pritchard".

Looks like that one heartbeat may be his last the way he's clasping at his chest...

how innnteresting... funnily enough, the point of the rumors wasnt that the downs baby was hers, it was that her daughter was pregnant out of wedlock, and the whole pro-abstinence thing... so mccain n friends basicly just gave live ammo to everyone. mucholol.

[chiquelet]

Now the real question is whether this revelation is going to alienate the religious voters. It should, but I don't think it will. They'll probably get the warm fuzzies that she's keeping the baby "awwwww" and that she's marrying the baby daddy "AWWWWWWW"

Regardless of what this says for abstinence-only sex-ed *snort*, HOW FUCKING HARD IS IT TO USE CONTRACEPTION?! FFS, I feel like I'm taking crazy pills.

[Whiplash]

But there are pictures of Palin with assault rifles.


Gun love > hypocracy for republicans.

[chiquelet]

Well that gun will come in handy for the upcoming nuptials.

[Dazza]

Does McCain's Wife remind anyone else of Cruella De Vil?

[smudge]

As chiqulet said the other day, the child being her's rather than her daughters doesn't makes her look any better imo, expecially when you think about the flight from texas to alaska immediately prior to giving birth. That just strikes me as someone cares more about their career than the wellbeing of their children.

</soccer mom>

[Whiplash]

Maybe she already knew she was having a retarded kid...

So you would choose to abort?

[Jenza]

Fuck yes

You guys should watch hallelujah kids. Doco on present and former child zealot preachers.

Tis lol watching the 18 year old evangelist start to hate himself because the devil is making him have naughty dreams.

[Ajax]

As an aside, according to the Great Almighty Wikipedia:

A 2002 literature review of elective abortion rates found that 91–93% of pregnancies with a diagnosis of Down syndrome were terminated.

[Helious]

It's not about a Down-Syndrome baby. Coat hanger that shit.

[SpaceCowboy]

haha, so eloquent helious

Damn straight I would.

Edited to say that I know a lot of people who wouldn't. It's surprising how many people choose not to have the 12 week scan because "it wouldn't matter if there's something wrong with the baby, I'd still have it"

[Ashley]

Most people who would abort don't realise the work it involves having a baby with a birth defect.

I think you'll find that the people who would choose to abort have a fair idea of the issues.
Perhaps you meant those who wouldn't abort. In which case, it's more likely to do with their religious ideology rather than ignorance.

[Helious]

^^ yup

They'd more be thinking "This is what God wants for us" rather than "We know exactly how much work is involved in raising a child with a defect"

If there are any defects on my baby it's being thrown into the lion pit

THIS IS SPARTA!

Yar, I meant those who wouldn't abort.

[Ab]

Hey man, Alaska is near Russia, how much more national security experience do you fuckin' want?!

USA! USA!

[Biff]

The huffo homepage looks historic right now:

And that is just the calm before the storm..

[Kryten]

The more this "vetting" goes on, the more hilarious it gets.

Palin Slashed Funding for Teen Moms.

Oh, and after the savaging Tucker got on CNN, McCain has been canceling interviews, including Larry King.

[SpaceCowboy]

this is great. /popcorn

[ZoSo]

Love it how they're now denigrating a 34-year General just to up the BS on her involvement with the Alaska National Guard.
The same guys who have a hard-on for anything military.

palin's voice is fucking horrible.

[caffiend]

Meanwhile... Obama is somewhere in the back, trying to get the attention of a journalist. Any journalist. He has important stuff to say.

No way would I abort a downs baby. I've taught several and in most of them the only thing "wrong" is the droppy ish face and stock standard downs hair cut.

I'm not a religious freak or anything but I really only think I would abort if it was a pregnancy due to rape. Everything else I'd deal with.

So a special needs baby deserves to live more than a rape baby? why exactly? If the focus is soley on the baby.. Both lives have no control over their existence and are innocent. (I'm pro-choice btw)

[Waldo]

there are people in this room I would like to abort

[Jonas Undrawing]

...

no i don't think it needs explaining biff.
