I have two issues with what the left is doing to Palin.
1. The absolute hypocrisy of telling her that she alone is responsible for meeting the needs of her children (especially the infant and pregnant teen) and that two months of campaigning will ruin their life while ignoring Obama’s 17 months of campaigning and its impact on his two daughters.
2. Mocking her for using the word choice to describe her decision to keep her down’s syndrom baby and her daughter’s decision to keep her own baby since Palin is pro-life and ‘doesn’t believe in choice.’ That’s dishonest (and i say this as a pro-choice woman). Pro-life folks believe that abortion is not a choice but adoption is. Bristol could have hid her pregnancy and then put the child up for adoption, she chose instead to raise it with the father. That is a choice and worthy of respect. Palin would have been offered a therapeutic abortion when the fetus was diagnosed was Down’s Syndrome; she chose to keep it. Again, another admirable decision.
