Pro-Life Really?

Sarah Palin has suddenly become a person that a lot of discussion is centered around. It's because she was the most random person to be picked as the running mate of McCain. This woman is so interesting to me. I watched her speech and I can tell you that she is a great public speaker. She knows how to keep her audience interested and knows just the right time to put in plugs of her own personal life. She is a great person who obviously loves her family and loves being a mother. Here's the thing that I don't understand about Sarah Palin. She has declared herself multiple times to be pro-life, when she is no where near pro-life. She may oppose abortion, but that does not make her pro-life. She supports the death-penalty (not pro-life), she supports ruining that natural habitat of Alaska, which means a lot of wildlife would die (not pro-life), she supports gun rights, which I know that guns do not kill people, people kill people, but guns make it a whole lot easier for people to kill people (not pro-life), and she supports the war (not at all pro-life) even if your son is in the armed forces. Killing innocent people is not pro-life.

We have come to use pro-life as a term that only applies to abortion, but shouldn't someone who is so adamantly pro-life be pro-life in all aspects? The other thing that is so interesting to me is that her daughter is pregnant, and she still supports abstinence-only sex-education. Really? Come on! Your 17 year-old daughter is pregnant, and you are forcing her to get married to make it look better, when it really screams a public service announcement for comprehensive sex-ed programs. Let me also tell you; her daughter by deciding to keep the child had a choice. That's what pro-choice is, a choice. I hate abortion, but I also know based on research that the number of abortions actually go down when there is a pro-choice president in office. The Republicans seem to think that by outlawing abortion and anything that has to do with preventing pregnancy will someone make it all go away magically. Hello! Women did not start having abortions when they became legal, they were having them long before that. They were just dying from them because they had to get back alley abortions and the doctors wouldn't use clean instruments. So really, by outlawing abortions you are destroying two lives. The unborn baby's and the mother's. I think we all need to look at Sarah Palin, knock some sense into her and let her know that she is not pro-life, like she states, she is very very very anti-choice, which only gives me one choice this fall. I think you get the picture.....




OBAMA/BIDEN '08

I'm begging you all please to do some research on McCain/Palin. They are playing the nice card, but there is so much info about them out there....don't become a puppet in their show. Use your voice and make an informed decision. Even after you do research and think that McCain/Palin are the right people I will support that because you made an informed decision.

The book this time is:
