Most of us who have seen the happiness of a Down Syndrome child can only applaud Sarah Palin’s choice to carry her baby. Just because the pro-life agenda is dominated by those who hold fundamentalist religious views - whose scientific theories would, if applied, bring the world as we know it to a flat grinding stop, and see the Sun re-orbiting the Earth - should not excuse the rest of us from the terrible dilemma, and choices, indissociable from the right to choose to end a pregnancy. A woman’s right to choose must be inalienable. No one should challenge a woman’s right to control her own body. But life is precious, and our instinct is to preserve it and cherish it. The responsibility for denying it remains as heavy as war itself.
