I know it's hard for some people to understand but for a great many people a baby is never a tragedy.   A baby may be a challenge and everyone involved may sort of wish the timing was different... but they don't view a baby as a tragedy and they don't wish the baby hadn't happened. People who do, go do stuff like get abortions. I doubt that the Palin family would use the term “tragedy.”
