Gov. Palin is totally pro-life. Always has been. Always will be. She believes in a culture of life from cradle to grave. Her choice for Supreme Court judge was made in accordance with Alaska law. She chose the person most qualified from the names sent to her. The Governor's choice has a record of fairness. That is important as the courts sort out some very thorny issues. Governor Palin's choices were either a liberal or an independent. She went with the independent. And as the following article reflects - this selection process is flawed.

Process of selecting Alaska's judges is clearly flawed
By Bob Flint Catholic Anchor Online
Alaska courts have a long history of removing contentious social and cultural issues from the democratic process. Court rulings have forced private hospitals to perform abortions, ordered gay marriage and benefits, required taxpayer funded abortions and interfered with parents' rights to be involved in the abortion decisions of their minor child.
These court rulings involve the creation of new and novel legal doctrines untethered to our Constitutional history, intent, or even language. The decisions of the public and their elected representatives are ignored, not to mention the rights of individuals to parent their children or perform services or charity without being forced into immoral and abhorrent practices.
The Alaska courts have consistently struck at such basic moral rights as life, family, marriage and conscience, undermining in the process the essential pillars on which society is based.

Good grief. Anyone entertaining the notion that Governor Palin is somehow not devotedly pro-life is mentally cracked. She’s talked the talk and walked the walk. This is just another case of the newsmedia trying to sow discord around her, and drag down her support.
Glad to see SarahPAC respond so quickly to this idiocy. I sent them a donation just last week (first time I’ve ever donated to a PAC in my life).
Next month Sarah Pac will be reporting its funds. I am interested how Sarah Pac compares with the PACs of Romney, Huckabee, and McCain.
Everyone was thinking they were going to get the Fred Thompson from the Die Hard movie. Instead, they got a tired guy who didn’t want it.
I don’t believe these would be issues with Gov Palin. And lets face it, we need a candidate who can stand on the stage and command an audience the way that Zero does. Unless you want the Obama “swatting at flies” effect like he had with McCain.
Then there’s the Palin daughter who, if her Greta interview is any indication, apparently thinks, even today, that abstinence education is for the birds, that kids like her are going to have sex no matter what. She has yet to get married even though she’s the mother of an illegitimate baby. Lots of Palin family values on display here.
Palin appoints a pro-abortion judge and people on this forum will continue to support her as a family values candidate and bash Romney who had to work with an extremely liberal legislature and probably was forced into political decisions that went against his conservative Mormon faith. What hypocrisy.
It seems to me that the Romney sons are all married, responsible adults, which suggests to me that if voters are looking for an extraordinarily well-qualified candidate whose family life reflects conservative values, they ought to look to Mitt Romney, not Palin.
Palin’s sun has set. She was a one election cycle wonder whom the press successfully portrayed as a lightweight and a joke. She can’t overcome that image any more than Dan Quayle could. She’s a candidate whose ambition exceeds her prospects and her abilities. She’s unelectable. Move on, people.
So the choice was a liberal or a pro-choice independent.
Ok question: why choose at all?
Absolutely correct, my FRiend. I sure do like her, though. She is making the right moves, too: staying out of the spotlight, focusing on ACTUAL RESULTS rather than perception. Then again, Americans seem recently to thrive on perception sans real results...
*It seems to me that the Romney sons are all married, responsible adults*
and all are of Military age and not a one has served their country in the war against the IslamOfascists.
Gov. Palin’s son is in the Army serving in Iraq.
Do you see now why the MSM was allowed to land telling blow after telling blow against Sarah in the 2008 campaign and score points? There was negligible or no pushback at the time.
Sarah is not about to let that happen again. Somebody commented if the RNC was now handling Sarah do you think they would have been as timely with their pushback? No reflection on Michael Steele, but I rather doubt it.
SarahPAC is suppsoedly a means to help conservative House and Senate candidates in 2010 but I just can’t see Sarah being so altrusitic that she doesn’t make use of the funds herself as well. If she can amass a war chest of between $50m-$100 by the end of the year, Sarah will definitely in business. It will be interesting to what SarahPAC declares as its fundraising numbers in April.
I remember a few enthusiastic posts on sites like FR. I don't remember Fred pulling crowds like this:
Eh, I'm not worried about it. She can take it. I feel bad for her kids, but Sarah's as tough as a rhinoceros.
Now is the time to set up a monthly contribution, no matter how small, to sarahpac.com.

NOT GUILTY!!!!!!!!
‘a one election cycle wonder’
My friend nobody who has the drawing power and the charisma of a Sarah Palin will ever go away, except on her own terms.
All you have to do is watch the sports superstars in action. Any adult who has watched hundreds of hours of sports in their lifetime know superstars when they see them. First they are rare, secondly they attract unbelievable attention, and third they have the charisma or the ability to perform at a very high level, a virtuoso performance is always expected and rarely do superstars disappoint.
Sarah Palin is a superstar, however much you want to deny it. Nobody gets this much attention from fans, the MSM and her opponents if she was not perceived a threat to the established order. Fasten your seat belts, in the next few months the jet will begin to take off.
Bravo, sir. Thank you.
The choice between the judges was probably a case of picking Sandra Day O’Connor and Ruth Bader Ginseberg. Palin picked Sandra Day O’Connor. In the next couple of years, AK will see where the High Court shifts. Of course Romney will claim that Palin’s lack of purity exonerates him from his liberal deeds and flip-flopping.
The sun has a predictable history of rising after after it sets. We shall see next cycle how far Sarah will rise again and who laughs at that last joke.
Please stop sending me harassing Freep-mails and calling me a liar.
Sarah Palin just proved that it is true that: “Its all about Feminism and the glass ceiling. A little thing like working for the baby killing machine Planned Parenthood - no problem.”
Maybe you think it is okay to appoint a rabid baby killer to the state Supreme Court - but it’s not.
Palin calls herself a Feminist. It you think that is a bad thing then you have a problem with Palin, not me.
Please back up your allegations in this post for the rest of us.
