I can't agree Scuds. Especially comparing chain smoking to having a baby at plus 40. I find it hard to believe that they didn't investigate and know the odds of having a Down's Baby at their age and make the decision that they would welcome the child no matter what. Is this baby a burden on society? I don't believe she should be Vice President, let alone President, but her having a Down's Baby has absolutely nothing to do with that, as it shouldn't. Drinking and driving is a bad decision, chain smoking is a bad decision/addiction, saying she understands International Policy because she can see Russia was a bad decision. Raising a Down's Child is an admirable one, IMO.
And if this pregancy was an accident, then certainly their personal beliefs on abortion would have made that decision simple in their minds.
