Nice to see Palin experience a taste of the results of her own tiny POV and medieval thinking:

Palin backed abstinence-only education - First Read - msnbc.com
From NBC's Katie Primm and Mark Murray
By the way, as has been pointed out, Palin backed abstinence-only education during her 2006 gubernatorial race. In an Eagle Forum Alaska questionnaire, Palin gave this response to the following question:
http://www.tfproject.org/tfp/images/...s/thumbsup.gif
Will you support funding for abstinence-until-marriage education instead of for explicit sex-education programs, school-based clinics, and the distribution of contraceptives in schools?
*** UPDATE *** NBC's Abby Livingston adds that a McCain spokesperson in May 2007 said the Arizona Republican supported abstinence-only education, too. "Sen. McCain believes the correct policy for educating young children on this subject is to promote abstinence as the only safe and responsible alternative. To do otherwise is to send a mixed signal to children that, on the one hand they should not be sexually active, but on the other here is the way to go about it. As any parent knows, ambiguity and equivocation leads to problems when it comes to teaching children right from wrong. Sen. McCain believes that there are many negative forces in today’s society that promote irresponsible and dangerous behavior to our children. The public education system should not join this chorus of moral equivocation and ambiguity.”

Washington Wire - WSJ.com : McCain Camp Offers Talking Points on Palin Pregnancy

McCain Camp Offers Talking Points on Palin Pregnancy
Susan Davis reports from St. Paul, Minn., on the presidential race.
News today that the 17-year-old daughter of Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin is pregnant has posed a tricky situation for John McCain ’s campaign on how to address such a personal family matter.
Fortunately, the McCain campaign has some tips.
A series of talking points was circulated to McCain campaign surrogates in preparation for their media rounds today, where they are likely be asked to react to Bristol Palin’s pregnancy. The talking points include;
–“Governor Palin and her husband Todd have a loving family and their children mean everything to them. When their oldest daughter Bristol came to them with news that she was expecting a child they embraced her and gave her nothing but unconditional love and support.”
–“This is a very personal matter for the family. We should all respect the love they have for the child and the desire all parents would have for their children’s privacy.”
–“The media should respect Bristol’s privacy. That’s always been the tradition and practice when it comes to the children of candidates.”
And, “if pressed” the campaign suggests:
–“The children of candidates do not choose to run for office and be thrust into the spotlight.”

Cheney had the sense to STFU about anti-gay issues......Palin was chosen because she was on a crusade to promote the batshit crazy christian fundy, controlling, anti-women, agenda....because McCain was deemed "weak" in that area..... If you think my description is too harsh, consider how many women had to suffer and die before they achieved the sexual and reproductive emancipation that put them in a position that men had enjoyed since the beginning of time. McCain, Palin, and the GOP want to voice threats against those rights? Eff them.....they are terrorists subverting women's reproductive health and rights, and Palin does not even know what is in her own best interest and in the best interests of her daughters. She's too brainwashed to be governor or VP.
She would force her own daughter to host and deliver a sexual assailant's baby:

All three candidates support gas line lawsuit
GOVERNOR'S RACE: Top contenders meet one last time to debate.
By MATT VOLZ
The Associated Press
....The candidates were pressed on their stances on abortion and were even asked what they would do if their own daughters were raped and became pregnant.
Palin said she would support abortion only if the mother's life was in danger. When it came to her daughter, she said, "I would choose life."
Both Knowles and Halcro are pro-choice. Halcro said the government needs to stay out of life-or-death issues.
Knowles, responding to the scenario involving his daughter, said he would counsel her and talk to her, but it would be her decision. "I would love her and support her no matter what decision she made," he said.
Asked about Gov. Frank Murkowski's call for a special legislative session on same-sex health benefits, both Knowles and Halcro said the session is unnecessary. But Palin said the question was not simply about health care benefits, it was an extension of voters' definition of marriage as between a man and a woman.
Halcro took issue with that, citing the Alaska Supreme Court opinion that said the definition of marriage cannot be combined with the denial of benefits....
