The Left Is Certifiably Insane:

I would normally have left my 9/11 post stand, but I came across the following story whilst exploring some blogs in Canada, and I find myself aghast. I then confirmed the story with the LA Times. Regarding Todd and Sarah Palin's decision to keep their Downs Syndrome infant:

But a senior Canadian doctor is now expressing concerns that such a prominent public role model as the governor of Alaska and potential vice president of the United States completing a Down syndrome pregnancy may prompt other women to make the same decision against abortion because of that genetic abnormality. And thereby reduce the number of abortions.

What? Is this doctor absolutely insane? Have we devolved in society to such a point that, if a newborn isn't precisely perfect, we must abort them, no questions asked?

Continuing:

Dr. Andre Lalonde, executive vice president of the Society of Obstetricians and Gynecologists in Ottawa, worries that Palin's now renowned decision may cause abortions in Canada to decline as other women there and elsewhere opt to follow suit.

There just happens to be a Downs child, Shane, living next door to me. He's in his late 20s and enjoys his life. His mother, Darlene, considers him to be a blessing. He functions nicely, speaks well, walks, talks, enjoys going to the nearby swimming pool in the summer. He helps his mother in the yard, takes the bus to the nearby town. So because he may have been a "challenge" a time or two, he should have been aborted?

My God, how the Leftists and Socialists really are the Party of Negativism, Arrogance, Elitism and Death. Let's just kill everyone, Leftists, and leave the world to the trees and rocks. And, by the way, you first.
