Palin was so friggin selfless when she decided not to abort.

[madeline_con]

She decided to keep the "burden of a handicapped child." What a fuckin saint! That's what I heard in her speech to prolifers.

She has no respect for developmentally or mentally challenged kids, she feels like "the lord" is testing her. what fucked up thinking she has!

[Kajsa]

1. Her child is a BURDEN?

She can stick that ignorant viewpoint where the
sun doesn't shine.

That poor kid!
:(

Who in the HELL does she think she is?

[Horse with no Name]

2. The way I see it

She exercised the choice that the law gives her.
No more selfless than the millions of women who exercise the same choice every year.
THAT is hardly heroic.
Suffering potential death in the hands of back-alley abortionists is heroic. Hiding out in safe-houses to have children that the government does not allow is heroic...but Sarah, Sarah, Sarah...having a baby that you choose to have is hardly selfless OR heroic.

[madeline_con]

6. That's the sick irony. She talks about the CHOICE she made,

to a group of supporters who want to take that right away from American women. They make me want to :puke:

Edit: She talked about the CHOICE Bristol made. Does she not see this?!

[dem629]

8. Wow. The word "heroic" sure has lost its meaning.

"Suffering potential death in the hands of back-alley abortionists is heroic."

It's a tragedy that it ever had to happen, and our laws protecting choice should keep that from ever being necessary, but what the hell is "heroic" about that?

[Control-Z]

18. I can tell you,

if you really want to know. But somehow I don't think you do.

Let me know and I will educate you.

[polichick]

3. Yeah, she hauls him around like a bag o'potatoes.

[Deja Q]

4. Fucked up thinking? That's better than not thinking at all -- does she know how to think?

Being "Pro-life" is far more than what she calls "keeping a burden of a handicap child".

She doesn't know jack shit. About life. Or anything else. It seems.

I am SO glad McLame failed. It would have been an epic fail if he won.

[SoCalDem]

5. especially when the baby was in someone else's uterus

:rofl:

[mitchum]

7. But she was hoping it would die on that very long and very strange flight from Texas

Count on it

[theboss]

10. Oh yuck

I need a shower.

[mitchum]

19. I agree; her behavior was disgusting, wasn't it?

[doctor jazz]

12. To me, that's the only rational explanation for the conduct of that trip.

"strange" is a perfect descriptive
:shrug:

[theboss]

9. This is an icky thread

I never feel comfortable talking about things like this that are so deeply personal.

[madeline_con]

11. No one's forcing you to stay.

And you're certainly not expected to share or discuss anything you're uncomfortable with.

I hope you don't mind if we do.

[mitchum]

14. No one is forcing you to read it

[EFerrari]

15. It's so deeply personal, she slathered it all over the media.

There is something wrong with that woman and you can tell because her boundaries are really screwed up.

[JI7]

17. she talked about it in a political speech

[TheCowsCameHome]

13. She should have named him Prop or Crutch.

She used that kid like both during the campaign.

[smalll]

16. She WOULD have aborted if she didn't have an absolute right to saddle her progeny...

with whatever wacky names her whims demanded.

What was it again? Trig Paxon Van Palin?!?!

Last I heard French judges still have the power to stop clueless parents from abusing their kids through naming choices. Sure, the French can walk the beaches topless and not even get fined (let alone lifetime membership in the Sex Offender blacklist) , but we can name our kids Maddyssonleigh and no one has standing to litigate. Which side is letting down civilization the most? Clearly, us.

20. AK: Abortion notification bill stalls in Senate health committee

Ooopssie. The day after she speaks to the anti-choice group, her bill on under-17 yr olds seems to have gone bye-bye for now.
Her weeks seem to get worse and worse, don't they??


http://www.adn.com/news/politics/aksenate/story/763670.html

The Legislature dealt another blow to Gov. Sarah Palin on Friday when a bill requiring girls under 17 to tell their parents they're about to have an abortion failed to move from committee, effectively ending its chance of passage this year.

The bill was a top priority of Palin's. Its failure came the day after she was the featured speaker at the nation's largest Right to Life banquet in Evansville, Ind.

Eagle River Republican Sen. Fred Dyson, one of the Legislature's most outspoken opponents of abortion, tried to move the bill from the Senate Health, Education and Social Services Committee on Friday. But he was voted down four to one.

[Control-Z]

21. Excellent!

Love to see Sarah unhappy (politically).

[Stinky The Clown]

22. Religiocertainty

It is truly a sickness.

[LisaL]

23. I believe most women who know they carry children with

Down syndrome syndrome do abort.

[hisownpetard]

24. A good deed should be measured by how little the person who's performed it

talks about it.
