Liberal women's groups have been apoplectic since the announcement of Sarah Palin as John McCain's running mate. They immediately sounded the alarm that their sacrosanct rite of abortion was in peril. Never mind that abortion on-demand has not delivered on any of the promises made by the lawyers who argued in favor of Roe v. Wade -- child abuse has climbed exponentially, women still predominantly bear the responsiblities of parenting, women still do not have equal leverage in the work force. Maybe we need more abortions -- because over a million a year in this country still isn't getting it done. Or not. Perhaps instead, Sarah Palin and her fellow pro-life feminists are the ones who have got it right. They recognize that having a child is not a barrier to success, and sacrificing our children will not bring about change in society. Society must change to accept the fact that pregnancy and parenthood are not the problems. Why do we continue to allow women to think it's alright to feel incapable of facing a challenge? Why are we not offering concrete support for women and their children, and not just a euphemistic "choice"? It's not an implausible police state these women fear, it's the possibility that they will be proven wrong -- that they fought so hard for something that ultimately did incalculably more harm than good.

Conservatives should announce that we’re for abortions, but only for registered Democrats.
Roe v Wade would be overturned the next day.
