Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin charged into the culture wars Saturday in Pennsylvania, painting Sen. Barack Obama as a radical on abortion rights.

"A vote for Barack Obama is a vote for activist courts that will continue to smother the open and democratic debate that we deserve and that we need on this issue of life," she said.
Palin skewered Obama for voting "present" while in the Illinois State Senate on a bill that would have required medical care for fetuses that survived abortion.
"So in short, Sen. Obama is a politician who has long since left behind even the middle ground on the issue of life," she said.
Obama opposes any constitutional amendment to overturn the Supreme Court's decision in Roe v. Wade and disagreed with Supreme Court ruling to uphold the "Partial Birth Abortion Ban Act." He did not cast a vote on Prohibiting Funds for Groups that Perform Abortions amendment in 2007.
Palin opposes abortion in all cases, including rape and incest, except when a mother's life is in danger, and said she believes Roe v. Wade should be overturned and the decision given to the states.

Palin also talked about a remark Obama made about sex education while campaigning in Johnstown in March, when he told a voter he didn't want his daughters "punished with a baby" or "punished with an STD" if they were not educated about sex and made a mistake.
"So I listened when our opponent defended his unconditional support for unlimited abortions and he said he said that a woman shouldn't have to be 'Punished with a baby,'" Palin said as the audience jeered the Democratic nominee. "Ladies and gentlemen, he said that right here in Johnstown. 'Punished with a baby.' It's about time we called him on it."

Wonderful quotes from Jefferson. I disagree with the second one on a minor point.
Life come first. The liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
Life come first. The liberty and the pursuit of happiness follow life.....
Without life there is nothing.
This is a very simple decision for me.......
I cannot stand before God and admit I voted for a
person who supports murder of infants. I cannot.
I’m a simple housewife with a little college who sees things fairly black and white. Call me naive, call me uninformed, call me unsophisticated...I make no apologies.
And...........yes, one day, we will all stand before God.
Here is a link to her speech:
anti-Abortion part starts about 13 minutes in.
Dear Father, protect our Sarah from all the rage, hatred and firey darts hurled at her and her family. May she grow in Your strength and stand firm and through her, show us how it's done.
What an example.
Go, Sarah, go!
O is not a nice family guy.
He is a baby-killer!
No, it is not just you.
The irrational hatred that has been aimed at her since she appeared on the stage with her children cannot be explained using reason.
The devil cringes from goodness. Sarah is living a life of decency, and has rejected the easy path offered by the ungodly-despite the potentially negative consequences on her career, and embraces life.
The devil and his followers look at her, recoil and spew venom.
