Actually, there is scientific evidence to support Palin's risk taking:
The risk of having a baby with chromosomal disorders increase as a woman grows older. The most common of these disorders is Down syndrome, a combination of mental retardation and physical abnormalities caused by the presence of an extra chromosome. At age 25, a woman has about a 1-in-1, 250 chance of having a baby with Down syndrome; at age 30, a 1-in-1,000 chance; at age 35, a 1-in-400 chance; at age 40, a 1-in-100 chance; and at 45, a 1-in-30 chance.
Trying to Conceive After 35 - What are the Risks of Birth Defects?
Far more dangerous than having previously had an abortion.
And your point is what? More importantly, your point relates to the OP's point - stunningly stupid as it was - how?
My point relates to the poster who claimed their was scientific evidence to support the idea that having an abortion increases a woman's risk of having a baby with birth defects. Apparently it's a worse risk for older women to have children.
Let me rephrase so that you can understand what I'm saying.
So what?
