Palin: If her daughter were raped & became pregnant "I would choose life"
Edited on Sun Aug-31-08 07:07 PM by Liberal_in_LA
Hey Palin: Doesn't your daughter have a say in the matter?! The other candidate acknowledged it was his daughter's decision. Palin did not.

The candidates were pressed on their stances on abortion and were even asked what they would do if their own daughters were raped and became pregnant.

Palin said she would support abortion only if the mother's life was in danger. When it came to her daughter, she said, "I would choose life."

Both Knowles and Halcro are pro-choice. Halcro said the government needs to stay out of life-or-death issues.

Knowles, responding to the scenario involving his daughter, said he would counsel her and talk to her, but it would be her decision. "I would love her and support her no matter what decision she made," he said.

2. the only one who should make that decision is the woman
who is pregnant.

And whatever decision she makes should be supported by those who (claim to) love and care for her.

5. So her daughter wouldn't have a say?
How can a loving parent do that?

6. When it hits close home, all of a sudden it's a choice.
Someone else though, let the state decide. WTF?
