shame on her for attempting to defend herself!
Palin knows that much of the emotion directed against her is owing to her choice NOT to abort her Down’s Syndrome child. It does not help her cause that the Republican Party was the pro-abortion party up to the time of Reagan. Even so, it is significant that the Presidential wives: Nancy Reagan, Barbara Bush, and Laura Bush are all pro-choice. Even as the pro-life cause has begun to win over public opinion, the Republican elite continue to give no more than lip service to the cause. The new Speaker is the one who has been most forthright in his support of the pro-life cause. It is interesting that the candidates favored by the Establishment, Daniels and Romney, are uninterested to advancing the cause.
