She should stay at home...

She should stay at home.

Even as 90% of parents given the same diagnosis she and her husband were given just ten months ago choose abortion instead of bringing a child with Down syndrome into the world.

She should stay at home.

Even as the Down syndrome population dwindles to around 350,000 and lower numbers herald warnings of less awarenss and money for medical research and institutional support.

She should stay at home.

Even as journalists in magazines like Newsweek label the latest tact aimed at exterminating children with Down syndrome a "search and destroy mission."

She should stay at home.

Even as the Democrat's candidate for President refers to teen pregnancies as punishments on par with Sexually Transmitted Diseases.

She should stay at home...

...and leave teaching her children about sex to the Democrats, whose candidate for President voted to support a sex education program, "...offered in any of grades K through 12 [that] shall include instruction on the prevention of sexually transmitted infections."

She should stay at home...

...and leave feminine leadership to women like Cintra Wilson who write of her, "What her Down syndrome baby and pregnant teenage daughter unequivocally prove... is that her most beloved child is the antiabortion platform..."

IF she stays at home...

...she sends a message to her teenage daughter, stating loud and clear that, "If you aborted this baby, we could have made a difference."

If she stays at home...

...she sends a message to parents faced with the prospect of aborting a child with Down syndrome, "You'll never be able to lead a 'normal' life. Your career ends with your child's birth."

If she stays at home...

...she sits on the sidelines of the energy debate. A debate she is more qualified to have than any of the men running for office. A debate that will have a direct impact on the very livelyhood of her family and closest friends. A debate that will have more of an impact on our economy and security than any other.

If she stays at home...

...the greatest loss will be ours.
