how much time will palin have to dedicate to her newborn child?
Published Aug. 29, 2008Since I am a mother of a child with disabilities I thought I should bring this up:
Gov. Sarah Palin was back at work today, holding a meeting on the natural gas pipeline three days after giving birth to her fifth child.
Palin and her husband, Todd, showed the baby, Trig Paxson Van Palin, to a few reporters and talked about the sooner-than-expected delivery.
Trig arrived about a month early and has Down syndrome, the governor confirmed. Testing during early pregnancy revealed the condition. Palin said she was sad at first but they now feel blessed that God chose them. The couple has lots of family support, she said.
Palin was in Texas at a Republican Governors Association energy conference last week when early signs of labor began. She said she called her doctor early Thursday morning after some amniotic fluid began to leak. She talked over what was happening with her doctor, and they consulted about what to do.
She gave the keynote luncheon address, then she and Todd caught an Alaska Airlines flight back to Alaska. She said was never in full-blown labor on the plane but was having a contraction or two every hour.

And John Roberts brought this up earlier on CNN:

How can Sarah Palin campaign for VP when she has a child with special needs at home. Trust me, I know that I have my hands full 24/7 and Palin's baby is a newborn baby! For me it shows that she isn't dedicated to this child, or doesn't have the love for it like her other children.I am an independent voter who will not be voting for the McCain/Palin ticket.

Secondly, this could be an excellent opportunity for those with disabilities - to have someone in the White House who understands.
God bless.

I'm speechless.... not used to people who are so judgemental. Do you feel this way about all working mothers?
