Yes, if you have a special needs child- they have special needs. One of them is the time and attention of their mother. Maybe if she spent more time with Bristol she wouldn't be in the state she is in. Note to Guiliani and even the Sojourners guy- how irresponsible!!!
If Guiliani wasn't married two or three times and if his kids actually spoke to him maybe he would have any moral authority whatsoever to speak to these mother-child issues.
GUILIANI- YOU ARE MISTAKEN IF YOU BELIEVE AN INFANT DOES NOT REQUIRE THE TIME OF HIS OR HER MOTHER- AND THAT A SPECIAL NEEDS INFANT DOES NOT REQUIRE SPECIAL ATTENTION. That's why they are called "special needs."
YOU INSULT MOTHERHOOD.
No you wouldn't ask that of a man- how many fathers do you know breastfed their kids? How many lactating men do you know? A five month old is barely weaned. Feminism does not mean
counting the assets of women irrelevant or discarding their value in motherhood.
The MEN who are saying there is nothing inappropriate with a mother of a special needs child from having a demanding high stress full time job like the Vice Presidency are neither mothers nor mothers of special needs children and know nothing about them.
Here is something about them:
Medical Problems Associated With Down's Syndrome-[DS]
While some kids with DS have no significant health problems, others may experience a host of medical issues that require extra care. For example, almost half of all children born with DS will have a congenital heart defect.
Kids with Down syndrome are also at an increased risk of developing pulmonary hypertension, a serious condition that can lead to irreversible damage to the lungs. All infants with Down syndrome should be evaluated by a pediatric cardiologist.
Approximately half of all kids with DS also have problems with hearing and vision. Hearing loss can be related to fluid buildup in the inner ear or to structural problems of the ear itself. Vision problems commonly include amblyopia (lazy eye), near- or farsightedness, and an increased risk of cataracts. Regular evaluations by an audiologist and an ophthalmologist are necessary to detect and correct any problems before they affect language and learning skills.
Other medical conditions that may occur more frequently in kids with DS include thyroid problems, intestinal abnormalities, seizure disorders, respiratory problems, obesity, an increased susceptibility to infection, and a higher risk of childhood leukemia. Upper neck abnormalities are sometimes found and should be evaluated by a physician (these can be detected by cervical spine X-rays). Fortunately, many of these conditions are treatable.
HOW TOTALLY IRRESPONSIBLE TO PICK SOMEONE LIKE THIS OF ALL THE CAPABLE COMPETENT WOMEN-EVEN REPUBLICAN ONES IN AMERICA. We give physicians to Vice Presidents to make sure that they are not distracted by fitness for office problems that detract from their focus and effectiveness. A MOTHER OF AN INFANT with Down's Syndrome has naturally focus distraction-or she is a monster. How irresponsible!!
