Only because two feel they know what's best for Ms. Palin, rather than herself, her family, and her physician - playing doctor and dictator at the same time.

But anyway that aside, you think that having a child with Down syndrome is no more problematic than any normal pregnancy that has the mother and baby in good health?
I don't know. I'm a 19 year old Poli Sci student, but I trust her and her doctor's opinion much more than yours (or mine, for that matter).

The only person who's being ignorant on this issue seems to be you. You stand on your pedestal claiming on the internet that you know what's best for a governor who was being advised by a trained doctor who was there.

Not bad, but no points for originality. Would be more like western Canada. Interesting to note, that there has always been a few people who want(ed)
independance for Alaska. Now though, the more things I hear is that we should succeed to Canada. I think this more a reflection of dismay with Bush, and also the more lax marijuana laws. THe discussion remains very much on the fringe but is always there.

Again, good try, but no points for originality. Heard that one before. That being said, I am closer to Russia than I am my own state capital by a long way. I am as close to Russia as I am to the largest city Anchorage.

Japan is the only other country besides the U.S. who seemed to think that your land was worth getting.

Ding Ding Ding. I havent heard it worded that way before. Excellent joke.

Hell most Americans have little idea there was war in the Aleutians. IIRC my town is the only civilian target against Americans. Well either way, I know for sure Unalaska was bombed by the Japanese in 1942. I would recommend anyone who has an interest in WWII to read a book called the "Thousand Mile War" I forget the author off the top of my head. But it details the Aluetian Campaign.

Get over yourself because you don't know shit. Did you even read what I posted?

Quote:
Still, a Sacramento, Calif., obstetrician who is active in the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, said when a pregnant woman's water breaks, she should go right to the hospital because of the risk of infection. That's true even if the amniotic fluid simply leaks out, said Dr. Laurie Gregg.

"To us, leaking and broken, we are talking the same thing. We are talking doctor-speak," Gregg said.
Those are cold, hard facts and if you're unable to see the unnecessary risk that she took then I must question your intelligence, just as I question hers and her doctor's (who by the way was NOT on the plane, nor was any other physician.)

Can you read? Her doctor was NOT there. She was in Alaska and the governor was in Texas. I can back up my claim that she took an unnecessary risk for herself and baby yet all you've got is the bullshit you've been posting. Yes, nothing went wrong but my point is that IT COULD HAVE. Geez, that really shouldn't be too hard for you people to understand.
