Paling Campaign Speech in Johnstown, PA
Gov. Palin gave a remarkable pro-life speech today in Johnstown, PA--one that deserves its own thread. It is a powerful, hard-hitting, emotionally touching witness to the pro-life cause delivered sincerely by a loving mother and determined leader. It's easily the best pro-life speech given by any politician this entire campaign.
For those who want to get directly to her pro-life comments, that portion of the nearly 30 minute speech begins approximately at the 00:12:40 mark as she talks about children with special needs. From there she segues into the larger issue of abortion.
There's also a beautiful little moment of providence when Gov. Palin interrupts her speech to respond to the growing cries of a baby in the audience. This occurs at approx. the 16:30 mark.
Below is the section of the speech where she was interrupted by the crying baby:
As for our beautiful baby boy, for Todd and me, he is only more precious because he is vulnerable. In some ways, I think we stand to learn more from him than he does from us. When we hold Trig and care for him, we don’t feel scared anymore. We feel blessed.
It’s hard to think of many issues that could possibly be more important than who is protected in law and who isn’t – who is granted life and who is denied it.
So when our opponent, Senator Obama, speaks about questions of life, I listen very carefully ... [Palin interrupts speech here to respond to the baby's cries] ... and I love that sound and please let that baby keep on crying. We love that sound! (Crowd goes wild).

Your wife sounds great. Oh, and I am not gay. Not that there’s anything wrong with that.
Found the video link on another thread, CNN has the video of the "life segment", or at least most of it:
Yeah, flip the ticket and then put Duncan Hunter on.
I’d really prefer avoiding any links to CNN...maybe someone will ‘YouTube’ it...

For Obama....that’s the sound of “punishment”!

Oop...didn’t think it went through thanks to my fumble fingers. Instead, I double-posted because of my fumble fingers.
Sorry.
Sorry.
It was a good and pointed observation by you. Definitely worth the double post. :)
I think that’s a beautiful line.
Tagline worthy.
Looks like I gotta change my tagline.
New Tagline
Love it.
Thank you!
