South Carolina Democratic chairwoman Carol Fowler said that Sarah Palin’s “primary qualification seems to be that she hasn’t had an abortion.” This appears to have generated a firestorm, but conservatives have already observed that Palin’s primary disqualification seems to be that she hasn’t had an abortion.
The choice of Sarah Palin has without a doubt revitalized the Christian base of the Republican Party. It was instantly recognized that in Sarah Palin you had someone who did not merely say that she was pro-life, but had put her beliefs into action. The choice to take her son to term, despite knowing he had Downs Syndrome, was proof positive that she meant what she said. The fact that her daughter is also carrying her child to term despite being in circumstances that many proponents of abortion might consider ‘punishing’ shows that the most important values were passed along from parent to child.
It is argued that this is all well and good, because at least they had the choice. Sarah Palin would deprive people of the right to choose altogether. This misses the point. It isn’t a question about choice, but on whether or not the unborn human is an unborn person. If you think it is, then no ‘choice’ is possible.
Simply put, Christian conservatives have rallied to the support of John McCain because his choice of VP, Sarah Palin, not only has convictions but also the courage to carry them out.
Compare this to Obama’s selection of Joe Biden, who according to a September 7th, 2008, New York Times article, said, “I’m prepared as a matter of faith to accept that life begins at the moment of conception.” The article says that Biden “would not impose his personal views on others, and had indeed voted against curtailing abortion rights and against criminalizing abortion.”.....
