The reality of this.

I think this may actually help the McCain ticket. First for those who are critical of the Republican pro-life platform two of their main talking points are gone. "You would feel differently IF you were told you were carrying a seriously ill child" People with downs syndrome rarely live beyond their early twenties. Sarah Palin new she was going to have a child with a severe developmental disability which is ultimately terminal and she CHOSE LIFE. "You would feel differently if your teenage daughter told you she was pregnant." Sarah Palin got this news and she and her daughter CHOSE LIFE.
Finally not only did Sarah Palin follow the values she discusses in public, those values have passed to her daughter as she CHOSE LIFE for her unborn child.

Let he among you without sin cast the first stone. How many liberal and conservative have a direct connection to an unplanned pregnancy and the mother CHOSE LIFE.

I know of two prominent Democrats that have actively campaigned this year that have a direct connection to an unplanned pregnancy.
