I have always been ambiviolent about being so. It is people like Sarah Palin who, in part, make it impossible for me to consider the pro-life position. I think that she and her husband were right not to terminate the life of a Downes Syndrome baby.
I have to wonder about her sense of responsibilty towards Trig in particular and the country in general. She appears to “want it all”. The willingness to carry any baby to term , implies a serious committment to that child. Color me cynical, but I pray her pro-life decision had nothing to do with political ambitions.

The Right to life issue seems to center primarily on “not aborting fetuses”. Rarely do pro-lifers seem to care about promoting the value of contraception, family planning and a general regard for the lives of people. One can’t help but note that pro-lifers are often pro NRA, PRO war and for capital punishment. ( I list the NRA because I live in a city with a terrible gun problem that could be solved in part, by the NRA rethinking it’s whole belief system. Growing up in the forties, I supported the NRA and it’s reasonable aims) There appears to be a contradiction here that I for one can’t resolve.

I am a democrat and I heartily support the Obama/Biden team. The prospect of more of what has been for eight years isn’t practical and Sen. McCain’s choice of Palin as running mate underscores my belief.
