I just read a stat on the web that states that 51% of Downs babies are born to women under 30 and 72% to women under 35.
I have no idea where you read that statistic, but I had genetic counseling when I was pregnant with my second daughter. The geneticist showed me the odds of having a child with Downs Syndrome. With each passing year, the chances increased greatly.
Frequency of Down Syndrome Per Maternal Age Anyway, I think that Obama had the right attitude, self-serving though it might have been. Private lives should be private,
especially when it comes to the children of candidates.
