No it’s not. The avid pro-choice people I know made fun of Palin and Trig. That said, I still don’t think it’s the Federal Government’s role to legislate one way or another on this issue.

Making fun of a child because of a medical problem is extremely disgusting, no matter who does it or for what reason.

Suggesting that a woman is wrong for carrying a Down syndrome baby to term, i.e. that she should have been forced to have an abortion, is the antithesis of being “pro-choice.” I have never known a person who felt that way, or even seen such an argument in the vast expanse of the internet. If you know people who so argued, then they have no right to call themselves “pro-choice,” and I can’t imagine that they would represent any significant percentage of those who do.
