Side note...
After hearing several times about Palin's choice not too abort a baby with Down Syndrome, I was really curious how common this was. Found this referenced in wikipedia that reviewed literature that found 90-93% of pregnancies are terminated after diagnosis of Down Syndrome. I must admit that I was shocked it was that high. Not exactly sure how I feel about that.

those numbers are surprisingly high, but they are skewed. many people who would not choose to terminate the pregnancy do not elect to have an amnio, while people who choose prenatal testing are often looking to avoid something like this.
