These observations about Governor Palin are simply not true. And anyone who says that a victim of rape or incest must carry the product to term is out of her mind. I don't care if she is a hunter or a life member of the NRA. She and the candidate for President she is running with are so out of touch with the state of the nation.
She doesn't say "must", she says "should".
Which is entirely consistent with her personal beliefs and actions on the subject. And, in fact, is not that far off the prevailing will of the nation which is that abortion shoud be a decision for the individual but that abortion should always be safe, legal and
rare. Most Americans support, reluctantly and with concerns about the reasons for, early term abortions, but support drops off sharply the later in term they occur. It is not an "all or nothing" position, but one that is full of nuance.
As VP or even President, Palin will
not be in a position to impose her beliefs on anyone in the US, even if she wanted to. That is Congress' job and would entail overturning Roe v. Wade (which won't happen) which would then simply devolve the question back onto the several States.
Most of which States now have laws, determined by their citizens to be in line with their own beliefs, on what is allowable in terms of what is, at root, a question on the taking of a (potential) human life.
Other than stating her beliefs on abortion and why she holds them, what risk to the "right to abortion" does Palin really hold as VP or Pres?
The answer is none.
