So again, please point to any policy or legislation that Sarah Palin has backed that would indicate she would force this belief on others.

If abortion regulation could get passed without the rape exception I'd support it. Same with the incest exception.

But I would never agree with getting rid of the life endangerment exception. That, IMO, falls under "self defense", or Justifiable Homicide.

The only reason I agree with the rape and incest exceptions is to get legislation passed, but I would take any viable opportunity to pass legislation without those 2 exceptions.

I, too, would oppose even if my own doughter were raped.

I'd have to disagree with you there. I think most women do abort down syndrome babies which is why they are more rare these days.

I think it's like 80%-90%.

Are you sober when you make these ridiculous arguments? She is rabidly pro-life. If you are pro-life, you think abortion should be illegal in all cases. If you simply think its a choice that should not be imposed upon others, as you are portraying it, then by definition, you are pro-choice.

As to what legislation she has backed,

1. She has only been in office for a year and a half.

2. Its a federal issue right now so such legislation would be pointless.

She has clearly stated her beliefs on the matter though, and obviously once in federal office she would push for a supreme court that shared her views and push the RNC platform that now calls for a ban on all abortions under all circumstances.

I looked it up, you are right 90% do.

What do you think about that "choice" knowing that many people with Down's live very satisfying and productive lives?



Also--the tests that measure this prior to when amniocentesis can be done are not particularly accurate. It's assured that some of the abortions of Down's children are actually abortions of chromosomally perfect human beings.

Not the aborted ones. They're dead.

I think its choice that each individual family must make on their own and not be dictated to them by some authoritarian government. However, I also think that many parents would be more likely to choose not to abort if sufficient social safetynets were in place to ease the burden of raising such a special needs child. Its can be very, very, expensive to raise a child with downs syndome.
