What do you think of Palin-nocchio's Rape position?
Why would anyone request that a child carry a baby after her father raped her?
Please read the following from CBS.com
Couric: If a 15-year-old is raped by her father, do you believe it should be illegal for her to get an abortion, and why?
Palin: I am pro-life. And I'm unapologetic in my position that I am pro-life. And I understand there are good people on both sides of the abortion debate. In fact, good people in my own family have differing views on abortion, and when it should be allowed. Do I respect people's opinions on this. Now, I would counsel to choose life. I would also like to see a culture of life in this country. But I would also like to take it one step further. Not just saying I am pro-life and I want fewer and fewer abortions in this country, but I want them, those women who find themselves in circumstances that are absolutely less than ideal, for them to be supported, and adoptions made easier.
Couric: But ideally, you think it should be illegal for a girl who was raped or the victim of incest to get an abortion?
Palin: I'm saying that, personally, I would counsel the person to choose life, despite horrific, horrific circumstances that this person would find themselves in. And, um, if you're asking, though, kind of foundationally here, should anyone end up in jail for having an … abortion, absolutely not. That's nothing I would ever support.
This young child has to live with the fact that her father raped her. I am Pro-life, but I still believe that in cases like this, the choice belongs to the 15 year old.

Need we say more about why she should not be elected? With this comment, she should resign as Governor and go play with the wolves.

Obama-Biden will take the gloves off. Watch as they chew up and spit out McCain and Palin. Palin may be able to "shoot" her mouth off...anyone with a public speaking course can, but Biden will use his "silver" tongue to dice and destroy.
