Well.. guess it will be interesting to see how this plays out.. Because that would be ONE HELL of a cover-up to accomplish.

It would require the complicity of the doctors, and her closest staff members (who would obviously notice her waistline increasing just a little bit).

It would also require the complicity of the police officers who pulled her daughter over in February for that traffic accident.

And the fact that she had serious ruffled some corrupt feathers in that state, you're telling me that no one would have "dropped a dime" on her for the mucho dinero that would come from breaking that story?? Come on now!!

But we'll have to see how the their campaign deals with it.

Of course, if true, she would be required to immediate resign, both as a candidate, and as governor. She'd never be able to finish out her term of office.

Maternal age influences the chances of conceiving a baby with Down syndrome. At maternal age 20 to 24, the probability is one in 1562; at age 35 to 39 the probability is one in 214, and above age 45 the probability is one in 19.[14] Although the probability increases with maternal age, 80% of children with Down syndrome are born to women under the age of 35,[15] reflecting the overall fertility of that age group. Recent data also suggest that paternal age, especially beyond 42,[16] also increases the risk of Down Syndrome manifesting in pregnancies in older mothers.[17]

the odds of a 20-25 year old is like 0.1 the odds of a 16 year old is like zero. a 44 year old is 3.6% of births
