and you don’t think that the term Tri-G was in any of the medical paperwork that palin received, that she had to be “medically knowledgeable” to know of that term? please.

No, I don’t, actually. First, take a look: there were a mere 9,520 google hits for “tri-g”. Should that have been a common term, not an obscure element of medical jargon, there would be more than ten thousand google hits on it.

Second, what “paperwork?” When a baby with Down’s Syndrome (yes, dear, Down’s Syndrome, not “tri-g”) is born in a hospital, do hospitals routinely give out medical journals to the patients?

Oh, wait, even if they did… the supermajority of medical journals refer to the condition as Down’s Syndrome or Trisomy 21!

So your hypothesis is that Palin had to sign off on something saying “I know that my baby has what is commonly known as Down’s Syndrome, but is technically called Trisomy 21, since it is caused by having an extra copy of the 21st chromosome, but a few obscure medical publications will refer to this, once in a blue moon, as Trisomy-g… and if you don’t sign this and read this, you won’t get your baby”? ROFLMAO.

Finally, in 2007, a bipartisan act (the Prenatally and Postnatally Conditions Awareness Act, IIRC) was passed and signed. A mere few months before Trig Palin was born, the federal government agreed to make grants available to hospitals to educate patients about genetic disorders. Clearly, there wasn’t a lot of paperwork going around in 2007, and in 2008, the first grants went out. Want to see if Wasilla, Alaska, received a federal grant for Down’s Syndrome education?

Idiot.

one would have to be incredibly dense to think that it’s purely a coincidence that she named that kid trig.

and it’s trig with ONE g, despite what commenters say.
