From this crazy eugenics supporter:
And last year when she learned she was carrying a baby with Downs Syndrome, she elected not to have an abortion — a move that crystallized her endorsement by the Christian Coalition. Moreover, after her son’s birth this April, Palin returned to work three days later without requesting maternity leave.
For all these reasons, Palin’s selection as McCain’s VP is offensive, not only because there are far more experienced women out there who perhaps don’t “look” as good, but because her personal choices as a woman — as a wife and as a mother — are about to be scrutinized and politicized in a way that can only hurt women.
Palin’s pro-life stance combined with her personal history subtly reinforces the idea that there is no acceptable excuse for terminating a pregnancy — that education, healthcare, employment flexibility, and the presence of a reliable spouse or partner are incidental in the decision to have children, and anyway, are available to those who work for them. More specifically, it sends a message to women that if they become pregnant they should have the baby — regardless of whether they already have 4 children, regardless of whether they have a career they’d like to advance, and regardless of whether they know their baby will have Downs syndrome.
Similarly, Palin’s selection sends a disingenuous and alarming message to American mothers — that even if it puts their son or daughter in mortal, daily danger there is no reason not to support the war in Iraq; that gun control is unnecessary; and that this country makes it easy for women with five children (including a five month old) to have a successful career and even, say, run for Vice President.
Yes, how dare she decide for herself and not listen to the Gospel of Planned Parenthood...how dare she make her own decisions and believe that all life is precious?
But wait, there is more....one lefty blog and others have floated speculation that Palin was never pregnant with her youngest and it is in fact her daughter's kid she is raising, and Palin is lying about it.....
Disgusting, isn't it?
Yes, how dare Sarah Palin choose to live her life according to her faith, to set an example that you can in fact be pro life, be a good mother, and have a career! Doesn't she know you only get accepted for that if you think killing babies is a good thing? How dare she?
Absolutely disgusting....
Oh and to all of you bashing Sarah Palin's experience....where were you when Barry was talking about Tim Kaine and all of you were saying, YEAH, WOOHOO! Where were you then? His experience is comparable to Palin, but I didn't hear him being poopooed or maligned as much as the left is throwing bile out to a candidate just freshly minted...they must really, really be afraid of her....
