Question

there was news today that palin's daughter was pregnant.

they releases this to counteract the rumors that palin's infant son was really the son of her daughter Bristol Palin's child and that Sarah Palin was the grandmother.

Now I'm a democrat and not a republican. but who would make up this rumor about this republican canidate. better yet who would even believe it?

Baby Trig Palin has Down Syndrome

. If the infant does indeed have Down Syndrome, that is far more believable if Sara Palin is the mother, as it is well-established that the risk of Down Syndrome increases with the age of the mother. A 44-year-old woman giving birth to a child with Down's Syndrome is not surprising. A teen mother doing the same, however, is statistically highly unlikely.

Why would anyone believe the rumor?

Answer 1

How can someone like this be expected to run this country if GOD, forbide McCain gets elected.  We will have an even bigger mess unlike the last 8 years of failures from the Bush Administration.  She should be ashame to call herself a Woman.  Who knows if the Baby with Downs Syndome, may belong to someone else.  she is Republican, and we all have experience the lies they tell.  

Answer 2

I believe Shop is answering your question very well.  She shows that it doesn't make any difference if the rumor makes sense or is real.  It doesn't make a difference if the rumor is proved to be false.  They will simply adapt the rumor to keep it alive.

Answer 3

Our society LOVES gossip, so unfortunately tons of people will believe this.  Except for people who know about the chances of Downs Syndrome as related to maternal age, which is few thanks to our culture that favors sensationalism over education and common sense.

Answer 4

Plus if the daughter is alreayd five mon prego how did this work ?LOL

I don't believe it but is it any of our business?

I agree with you though chances of child w downs run high once you over 40's and she found out early in pregnancy and said she prepared well for it.

God bless them!

My daughter had her baby at 21..i cant imagine at 17 its rough.
