Which supersedes any commitments to Bart Stupak and any Dems willing to let this corrupt individual control the health care.

Keith Olberman, Just another Failure of the Education System
Over at Newsbusters, Noel Shepherd caught excessively liberal Olberman displaying that he has no understanding of the causes of birth defects, and those listed as being influenced by prior abortions. Boy-Keith was trying to imply that the association of abortions with some birth defects suggests that Palin might have had an abortion.
Abortions can cause damage to the reproductive tract, most particularly increasing the problem of incompetent cervix. This leads to premature births, and the related congenital problems associated with prematurity. There are also some troubles associated with failed attempts to abort medically.
Down Syndrome is most often the result of trisomy 21, (three copies of 21st chromosome). This follows a nondisjunction event, during meiotic division to produce the gametes (sperm or oocytes) , unevenly allocating three copies of that chromosome to a resultant human individual. The entire chromosome need not be involved, There is Robertsonian translocation in which the critical part of the 21st chromosome might be attached to the 14th chromosome for example. This can be displayed phenotypically as down syndrome. There is also a minor mechanism producing Mosaicism, in which uneven chromosomal distribution occurs in cell divisions of the developing embryo.
You can see from the above mechanistic explanations that these have nothing to do with prior abortion events.
The imperfect chromosomal distributions occuring in the cell divisions are associated with pregnancies later in life, and this was the case for Palin’s fifth child, Trig.
Olberman has displayed that he has NO idea what causes Down syndrome, and was too lazy to check before he made a fool of himself.
Anyone with energy and Olberman’s email address, feel free to forward this to him, if it so amuses you.
The Social ‘Dys-proportionism’ of the Left.
The PC self esteem police are out in force, blue and red lights flashing, to display their concern for the Obama girls. It seems that Michelle, who leads the charge against obesity, had mentioned that the condition of her girls had touched off a little body mass index (BMI) discussion with the pediatrician.
Michelle had the temerity to touch upon this personal experience while speaking at an Alexandria Virginia event initiating her campaign against childhood obesity. Yes, she mentioned the pediatrician suggesting that the girls might be getting just a little chubby. The self esteem police are aghast……… fearing that the girls might be incited to binge eating disorders if Mama Michelle so much as mentions the issue of weight to them, or about them.
Far be it from Pharmer to rag on Michelle for this supposed sin against the self image. What Michelle said is fairly normal, and not a big deal at all. However it illustrates just how whacked out society is.
There were none from the leftie PC police mentioning the hugely abnormal Gaffe of Obama, speaking at the Town Hall in Johnston Pennsylvania, about his daughters, who were then SIX and NINE years old. In fact most of them, including this nut at the Politico, considered his behavior acceptable.
It’s not a normal father who speaks out publicly of his daughters, acknowledging their single digit ages, and mentions the possibility that they will be made pregnant, and have abortions.
The lefties have been talking to themselves for so long, that they don’t understand the people who would object to kids having sex, and getting pregnant at whatever age of minority. So few of them are personally involved in parenthood, that this raised no outcry among them.
It’s not likely that the opinions of most religious groups are of much significance to Obama, but is he so deluded that he thinks he won the respect of a single adherent Muslim when he made the above statement?
Much Jihad fever is fueled by the impression that Americans are immoral filth. All of us will be paying, in myriad ways, for utter lack of proportion and social dysfunction of the leftists.
