Knowingly, or determinedly unknowingly (to the same effect) give birth to a child with Down syndrome, just to be in line with the party line, that's so... and now of course her daughter had a choice to carry the pregnancy to the end... because that's what happens to the girls who don't practice abstinence, as everyone can see now. And the father had the choice to get married.

Never, it was my description of what I imagined as a probable attitude which could explain... some of it. Even if she did, we'd never hear it. Until, maybe, after the game, when all the insiders start writing books.
