..."In a gubernatorial debate, Palin stated emphatically that her opposition to abortion was so great, so total, that even if her teenage daughter was impregnated by a rapist, she would "choose life" -- meaning apparently that she would not permit her daughter to have an abortion.

Here's more:
Palin, a member of the anti-choice group Feminists for Life, said during her campaign for governor that she is opposed to abortion, even in cases of rape or incest. [Juneau Empire, "Abortion Draws Clear Divide in State Races," accessed 8/29/08 and Anchorage Daily News, "Governor's Race: Top contenders meet one last time to debate," 11/03/06.]

Is this the kind of woman who will stand up for you? A woman who would force her own teenage daughter to carry a child? Do you trust her to make those sorts of decisions for you or your daughters? |

| Today many posters have expressed delight at McCain's selection of Palin and plan to vote for them.
I feel only sadness and dismay and anger.
The very idea that a candidate for our highest office would think so little of American women that he himself would advocate government control of reproduction and then pick a running mate who would force teenage girls into carrying the child of a rapist!
I'm aghast.
