Palin: "opposed to abortion, even in cases of rape or incest."

McCain Selects Anti-Choice Sarah Palin as Running Mate

Selection of anti-choice Palin shows just how extreme McCain presidency will be


Washington, D.C. – Nancy Keenan, president of NARAL Pro-Choice America, said that Sen. John McCain’s selection today of Alaska Governor Sarah Palin as his vice presidential running mate is further evidence that a McCain presidency will be just another four years of the same old Bush-style anti-choice policies. Just like McCain, Palin opposes a woman’s right to choose. Palin has also stated her opposition to abortion even in cases of rape or incest.

"John McCain’s choice of Sarah Palin as his running mate proves just how rigid and extreme his administration would be when it comes to a woman’s right to choose," Keenan said. "For 25 years, McCain has opposed a woman’s right to choose, and we know that he will continue to push anti-choice policies in the White House. McCain’s pick of anti-choice Sarah Palin is further evidence that his White House will be just another four years of Bush-style policies. Any remaining doubts about McCain’s extreme anti-choice position should be put to rest when voters learn about the combined anti-choice records of Sarah Palin and John McCain."

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.

THIS IS SUPPOSED TO APPEAL TO HILLARY SUPPORTERS AND INDEPENDENTS??????

I'm 100% pro-choice, but I have a tiny sliver less contempt for the internally consistent total anti-choice view.

(The poll-tested republican idea that abortion murders innocent children BUT it's okay to murder the Innocent children of rapists is really nuts. The underlying idea is that all women who have consensual sex are "asking for it" pregnancy-wise.)

do you know?

if it's planned and carried out by the government in an official capacity.
:sarcasm:
:shrug:

Because they said so.

I don't think that any Hillary supporters or independents will fall for her. She's as corrupt as Cheney and as idiotic as Bush, imho.

how in the HELL would any Hillary supporter or independent/mod Republican vote for Palin????

... she's in trouble. Tweety (bless his fuzzy little head) also described her -- to Pat Buchanan's face -- as one of Pat's "pitchfork carriers."

Mr. H listened to an interview of Palin on CSPAN just now and came in to report the good/bad news. The bad news is she's very bright -- "brilliant" was how he put it -- and a reformer.

The good news? :evilgrin: She's personally corrupt (troopergate), and obviously was not vetted by the McCain camp. "She's another Eagleton," said my sweetie, and "she can be made to drop out" if the Dems keep hitting the personal corruption angle.

If it's okay to abort because of a rape or incest than the entire argument about pro-fetus means they are only concerned with the male contribution. Only fetus's with worthy male genetics is valuable enough to "save"

I'm pro-choice, but it bothers me the exception is only made based on the male contributor - it reminds me of some animals in the wild where the new pack leader kills off the offspring of it's predecessor.

As for the "we don't want the woman to go through the trauma of a pregnancy due to a violent method of contraception" is very weak too. It discounts other trauma's women go through and metes out pregnancy as a punishment for "bad behavior"

All I'm saying is bring her position to light for all the true, former Hillary supporters, independent and pro-choice moderates...let's see how they view this concept in November.

ectopic pregnancies? You know, the ones if the embryo isn't removed, the mother will die. And there's no way embryo survives an ectopic placement.
