Believe it or not, sometimes The Post gets it right. An incredible op-ed in today's paper by Michael Gerson talks about Trig's accomplishment at the Republican convention: "there was a third civil rights barrier broken at the political conventions this year. Trig Paxson Van Palin -- pronounced by his mother "beautiful" and "perfect" and applauded at center stage of the Republican convention -- smashed the chromosomal barrier. And it was all the more moving for the innocence and indifference of this 4-month-old civil rights leader."
Gerson's article exposes the elimination of Down's children for what it is -- eugenics, a result of Social Darwinism that believes the answer to "imperfect" lives is imposed death. Don't miss this great article, Trig's Breakthrough.
