NO – that’s not ok with me.
I am not a supporting of abortion, through I believe it’s the woman’s choice – not our Government. And I do believe ALL life is precious, but I can understand why abortion could be considered in some cases!
But again – it should ALWAYS be the women’s choice…..NOT the president or the supreme court!
3. July 2010 at 7:33 am
He is a mixed message sender and the sad part is that he doesn’t even have a ten cent clue
3. July 2010 at 7:33 am
no it is not I want my daughter to have a choice
EDIT:Rusty , Sometimes the morning after pill does not work.You have to take it within the first 72 hours after sex.
3. July 2010 at 7:33 am
No, she is not fit for the vice presidency
3. July 2010 at 7:33 am
I am smart enough to make sure my daughter took the morning after pill so she wouldn’t have to have an abortion. Guess you aren’t.
I am a moderate he appealed to me. So does Palin.
3. July 2010 at 7:33 am
ironic or hypocrisy?
3. July 2010 at 7:33 am
Is this really the most important issue for our country’s leader?
For the record, I’m pro-choice. However, it’s no reason to vote for someone who goes against every other principle that I have. I believe in less government, lower taxes, and safe borders. I’m supposed to give all that up for abortion rights? I don’t think so.

3. July 2010 at 7:33 am
stop being silly
you probably complian when McDonalds fries are cold too
3. July 2010 at 7:33 am
As far as Palin is concerned, women should not be able to make decisions unless it’s to do with their kids’ hobbies.
3. July 2010 at 7:33 am
and if your daughter was raped and the rapist cut her throat, will you still be against the death penalty?!
3. July 2010 at 7:33 am
He CAN appeal to moderates now that he’s chosen a VP who’s perceived as more conservative than he is. More proof that Palin is a campaign expedient, not an actual VP choice.
Oh and in answer to your question…in the case of rape, no.
3. July 2010 at 7:33 am
palin is retarded
3. July 2010 at 7:33 am
Look at this scenario:
My daughter was stupid and got herself knocked up because she wasn’t having safe-sex. I would hope that she would have the baby, because her careless-ness shouldn’t be a reason for killing a baby.
However, if my daughter was raped, I would be okay with her making the decision to abort the pregnancy.
McCain cannot appeal to moderates when his running mate is so incredibly tight-assed.
3. July 2010 at 7:33 am
No, its not ok!
People say "what about the fetus, it didnt do anything wrong…" I agree! but the female who was raped or abused will have to go through 9 months of agonising pain psychologically and then physically, and then know the baby is "out there" if adopted, or if kept, is she really going to love the child?
People say pro-life…what about the life of the mother! She has concious thought… a fetus under 13 weeks, does not…
Rusty Verner: Many vicims of rape dont tell anyone, therefore do not get the morning after pill, as they some feel they are to balme….and the morning after pill does not always work
3. July 2010 at 7:33 am
For the last time – the vice president cannot change the law on abortion, that takes an act of congress.
Please, take a look at how laws are made, ammended or abolished.
3. July 2010 at 7:33 am
Palin can oppose it all she wants, it would be my daughter’s choice thanks to the Supreme Court, and we should do our best to maintain that choice for all women in America.
3. July 2010 at 7:33 am
How dare she think that people conceived by rape are just as human as the rest of us!
3. July 2010 at 7:33 am
Palin does not know what is best for everyone. I think that a decision like that is the families choice to make and only the families choice. Am I for abortion? No I’m not. However I think that it is not appropriate for someone like Palin to decide. And besides, she cannot decide whether or not abortion becomes illegal because that is something only congress has the power to decide. And you also have so many pro-choice organizations and individuals who would riot should that choice be taken away. Its really a difficult issue to talk about, and there is no grey area in this topic.
3. July 2010 at 7:33 am
Indeed – this is what’s keeping me from calling myself pro life.
I value the life of that unborn child like anyone else (I’ve personally never seen pro choice Americans standing around holding dismembered fetuses chanting, ‘Kill the babies’)…
However
Making abortion illegal brings up many problems, one of which was pointed out above. With a family member of mine being a rape survivor, I can personally say that no one has the right to tell her – had she become pregnant, that she had to carry that child as a constant reminder of her violation.
And I will have words with anybody who says otherwise.
3. July 2010 at 7:33 am
Yes, she would oppose it and no that is not okay with me. She is for no exemptions to roe v wade. So if a 12 year old was raped by her father, we would still, as a country, make that child have a child. Please women of this country think this through…this could happen and could happen in the next 4 years if you vote for McCain/Palin.
3. July 2010 at 7:33 am
That is Palins choice, not mine. The individual states would decide if she and McCain had their plans pass.
Those are the facts.
3. July 2010 at 7:33 am
Why not face facts?
Look — NOBODY we elect to the White House will change Roe v. Wade.
NOBODY.
Abortion Rights aren’t going away. Not under McCain. Not under Obama. Not under Bush (12 years of Bushes! 8 years of Reagan! Still we have Roe v. Wade!)
Why play these childish games that everyone can see through?
McCain will not change Roe v. Wade.
he won’t.
We know that.
Stop playing games.
3. July 2010 at 7:33 am
Palin is confuddled!
3. July 2010 at 7:33 am
Her personal beliefs doesn’t mean she could ever actually change any laws, they are just her beliefs.
3. July 2010 at 7:33 am
Come on people, that is just her personal stance on the abortion issue. She can’t just swoop into the White House & reverse Roe v. Wade. Cindy McCain disagrees with Palin on this issue; the abortion issue alone doesn’t mean she shouldn’t be VP. We are all entitled to our personal beliefs!
3. July 2010 at 7:33 am
I believe abortion was started by people who didn’t want to accept the consequences of their actions. They try and tell themselves that it’s not really a baby and it’s not life, when it’s the first trimester. Then I ask you, if it’s not life, why do you have to kill it? If somebody gets raped and is pregnant as a result of it, it isn’t that child’s fault. There are so many people out there who want to adopt and there aren’t enough babies to go around. Have the baby and give it up for adoption. I oppose abortion. It’s murder.
3. July 2010 at 7:33 am
No.
3. July 2010 at 7:33 am
Rusty –
Palin is against all forms of birth control, and that includes the use of birth control between a married couple.
3. July 2010 at 7:33 am
no that is not okay with me
i think that is a very personal disision
it should be her choice, nobody elses
3. July 2010 at 7:33 am
No its not ok. However, the Pres and VP don’t make the laws, congress and states do. So I am hoping smarter minds prevail. The Christian fundamentalists are KILLING this country.
Ever notice how the ones out there preaching and are holier than thou are the very ones doing the molesting, beating, adulterating and so on. The biggest homophobics are usually closet cases (according to an Oxford Study)
People in Glass houses…..
Look, some of these people live in counties/states that have laws against having sex with sheep. Em, those laws are there for a reason.
3. July 2010 at 7:33 am
I liked it when she said she was happy that her daughter "chose" to keep the baby.
Why is it the Repubs only support these policies when they don’t apply to them?
And if her daughter had chosen not to keep the baby in an utopian Repub society where that choice is not offered, what would be the options then?
3. July 2010 at 7:33 am
McCain/Palin 08
3. July 2010 at 7:33 am
No. That would not be okay with me.
3. July 2010 at 7:33 am
This is why McCain/Palin will lose women voters to Obama. Her views are just so extreme and outside of mainstream America. The fact that she opposes the right for a woman to choose to have an abortion if she were raped and the fact that McCain opposes equal pay for equal work for women will turn off many , many women.
3. July 2010 at 7:33 am
No. It’s not okay. The mental health issues surrounding a girl/woman being raped and forced to go through 9 months of carrying rapist’s baby, have just got to be too much for some women.
The resulting life-time mental health problems…..? And an unstable mother taking care of a baby of a rapist? Maybe some women can handle that but I bet a lot of women and their families would find that insurmountable.
3. July 2010 at 7:33 am
I personally would say no, I don’t agree with an abortion, but in a circumstance where someone is raped and becomes pregnant, they should have the option avilable to them. Personally, Obama is a presidental choice that americans need to pick, he can bring change unlike the bush puppet McCain.
3. July 2010 at 7:33 am
Your question is incomplete; If the rapist was someone you knew and loved ,would you support the death penalty?
Roe v. Wade will not be overturned and you should not allow this issue alone to decide your vote!
3. July 2010 at 7:33 am
Never would I abort, or allow my (hypothetical) teen daughter to abort.
That little baby did not ask to be conceived. If the family feels that they cannot raise the child for whatever reason, there are plenty of families out there who long for a child of their own.
3. July 2010 at 7:33 am
My friend was raped and her daughter is now 3 months old. That you would even suggest that she should have killed her daughter just because of the circumstances that lead to her pregnancy is inhuman, disgusting, and vulgar.
I recommend that you take a long look at your life if you think that your position is even remotely justified.
3. July 2010 at 7:33 am
No, it’s not OK with me.
And to the poster who equated rape with cold french fries – you are sick! God forbid you should ever find yourself in that position.
3. July 2010 at 7:33 am
No, that would not be OK with me.
Nor should it be OK with anyone.
Unless you believe (for some reason which I will never understand) that a magic invisible man placed a soul in that fertilized egg at the moment of conception- and that fertilized egg has more rights than the raped young girl.
3. July 2010 at 7:33 am
no
3. July 2010 at 7:33 am
NEWSFLASH: She is the VP nominee, and moreover even if she opposes that, she cant do anything about it, even if she becomes president. Because if it has to become law, it has to pass through congress, and congress isnt so extreme….
3. July 2010 at 7:33 am
Your question not withstanding, any woman who knowingly has a baby with DOWNs syndrone rather than an early term abortion is a illogical idiot who should not be running anything.
3. July 2010 at 7:33 am
Good Point I read that as well. Also, the Next President will most likely pick one – maybe two Supreme court justices that will prbably cause Roe v Wade to be overturned and ALL pregancies including those from rape and incest will no longer be abortable
3. July 2010 at 7:33 am
Palin doesn’t have the last word, only an opinion.As vice president, or even the highest office, she would have to deal with a senate and a congress, so why the fear?Her other qualities out weigh this one concept.Take the whole package. Even I a stanch republican can find some good in Obama,But I can’t accept his socialist views. I don’t want my taxes to pay for his welfare people.How many so called rapes were consensual until the mama discovered the act?Then it is the guys fault.Right?
3. July 2010 at 7:33 am
First of all, let me say this –
I am not voting Republican.
But this analogy rarely happens. It does happen, but people who use this as their reason to be pro-choice are really grasping at straws. Granted, it is a good reason, in my book – but I worked at a battered women’s shelter for years where we handled all kinds of rape cases – and I personally sat with victims of rape in the hospital… it’s highly unlikely. Don’t throw this reason at people. It’s assinine.
3. July 2010 at 7:33 am
Which happens in what, 1% of rape cases (and of that 1%, 70% of them opt to keep & raise the child).
However, to answer your question yes it would be "ok" with me. What you fail to understand isn’t that people think rape is "ok" and we need to saddle these women with children they don’t want. It is that you don’t respond to the situation by murdering / killing, which is what abortion is. You might not feel that way about abortion (hey, a fetus is no different than a lump of skin cells) and if that is what you believe, I can understand your point. However, for a good number of people a fetus is much much more than a lump of cells to be discarded.
3. July 2010 at 7:33 am
Yes, life is sacred regardless of how or why it started. What you Pro-Abortion people fail to tell everyone is that 99% of all abortions are simply because the mother doesn’t want the baby or is a means of birth control and not because someone was raped. The real answer for someone who doesn’t want their baby is to put it up for adoption after it is born instead of killing it like it was some kind of animal. It is appalling that people get prison sentences for cruelty to animals, but people like you think it is OK to kill humans before they are born. Science has proved that unborn babies can feel pain, react to light and sounds, have a heartbeat after only a few weeks of development and are human according to DNA tests. If a baby is killed only minutes after being born, it is murder. How can it not also be murder before it is born?
3. July 2010 at 7:33 am
I’m assuming that many people do not know anyone who has been rapped. That leaves a woman feeling extremely violated. Then to turn around and FORCE her to have the child? How much of an idiot must a person be to see that this practice is wrong?
The problem with Republicans and conservatives is that they believe life begins at conception, and death begins at birth, because they sure hate putting programs in place to help the mother when the child is born. Hypocrites.
