These are the same people, that if Omaba had picked her, would be calling us religious right wing nuts and so on.

palin pregnancy - Google Search
It's all true, she didnt have a baby.
Palin is a muslim and a spy for China.
Her husband is really an alien sent here by the mother ship to enslave us.
It's all part of the new world order thing.
Her daughter had the baby and her father is the father of the baby.

So what?

What an incredibly stupid thing to say.

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.


Notice this authority quoted in the Anchorage newspaper published April 22 would disagree with you in Doctor talk. Now why was it necessary to do this back in April? Hmmmm because there were questions about her judgement. This is not a new Dem issue but a question from Alaska.

I don't understand how taking a calm and natural approach to birth is something that should have been "vetted?" This is a personal medical decision. Homebirths are safer than hospital births (statistically proven, among the same risk level of women) but heck she went to a hospital so I don't see what the fuss is. I certainly would not rush to the closest hospital if my water broke, especially if I could fly home at a moment's notice. Women want the care provider they have grown to know over the pregnancy and the comfort of family and familiar environment when they birth.

newsminer.com • Palin says she felt safe flying to Alaska to have baby
Again perhaps unwarranted scrutiny but is from then and there and not now. Again if vetted it would have been anticipated as a topic of exploration as it was then when she made the decision to fly.

they would have known there was this issue and could have been out front making the points you are. They failed to do their homework as has been linked in other threads. There is another part to all of this that is not in print from then so I am not bringing it up without more corroboration.

You are not supposed to fly during your last trimester at all. Her water broke and she did not tell any of the flight attendants of her condition? She flies from Texas to Alaska like that?

And all of this apparently happened well before her due date, which indicates potential complications and makes immediate medical intervention and monitoring even more essential.

Who in the world would behave this way?... Oh, right, our potential VP. And you would trust her judgement to make executive decisions for our country?

Especially if the child is going to be born with a disability. I'm sure she wanted to have her family and her familiar OB with her for the birth, and we are talking a matter of HOURS, people, for her to fly home.

Interesting that the same people who are questioning her "judgment" have no problem with Obama's judgment to align himself for TWENTY YEARS with a shrieking, spewing bigoted race-baiter whom he called affectionately his "spiritual mentor."

Yes, I am still flabbergasted how obama supporters can completely brush wright off as not reflective on obamas judgement or personal views.
