On an anti-Palin roll...
I feel like it's therapeutic to just get everything written down before I implode at the choice of mccain's vp...
Palin said in 2006, while running for Governor of Alaska, that if her 14-year-old daughter were to become pregnant as a result of rape, she would choose life. Granted, I resent those Kitty-Dukakis questions that personalize the issue, but it says a LOT about what kind of political leader she would be.
This is absurd. Abortion in case of rape-related pregnancies is more broadly accepted because it's NOT just a moral/judicial issue. It's also a matter of health, just as if the pregnancy seriously threatened the mother's life. Rape is about a woman not having control over her own body, and a pregnancy resulting from such assault on her individual identity is a daily reminder that her life is now finally out of her hands. The first approach to rape victims is to re-empower them, and to let them feel in control over their lives. This holier-than-thou approach to abortion policy is not only unjust but unethical, from a scientific perspective as well as philosophical.
Mark my words. Ms. Palin, if I ever run for office, you may quote me as I have quoted you above. ANY man or woman who opposes the right to choice for women impregnated from rape are ABETTING and AIDING in the rape of that woman, and in doing so violating her fundamental rights as a human being and endangering her spiritual well-being. So, Ms. Palin, I find you guilty as an accomplice in RAPE.
