[...] A Wisconsinite that attended the speech this past Friday noted that Palin made these remarks to the … “Two years ago I had an ultra sound. I was 12 weeks along. The technician said she saw boy parts. I was like, yes, what could be better than a little baby boy? Then she said the baby’s neck was thicker than usual. I was like yes, that’s great. Then I thought, oh oh. I recall the fear, knowing what a thick neck may mean. More tests. My baby had Down Syndrome. What is amazing is who this child is. My family’s life is so much richer because of this beautiful baby boy named Trig. He’s awesome! Groups like this affirm the value of every life. [...]

I’m not buying Sarah’s “internal battle” balogna. If she’s pro life, she wouldn’t even bother with Amnio, she’d shut her mouth and accept whatever God sends her. No one would risk fetal distress or worse by taking a plane ride and a long road trip with ruptured membranes. Why hide a pregnancy for so long in the first place?
She evokes Pope John Paul II’s pro-life stance when she left the Catholic Church? No wonder she has all these banned devices when she speaks!

Thank You for sharing your experience and your notes- Knowledge is Power!

Did any one correct CBS I went to CBS.com but could not find a contact page.
Thanks to the mudpup couple who went into the belly of the beast. I think when palin talks and takes notice of writing on a coin it is someone else telling her that stuff.I would bet she doesn’t ever look at coins except to see what they are a dime a nickle ect.

I believe President Obama had said if we had more birth control being taught there would be less abortions.IMO It goes hand in hand.

lilybart me too Rebekka, you say it so well.I once tried to tell someone on the ADN that I was pro-life and also pro-choice and the made fun and said it was nor feasible.But just because I could not have a abortion does not mean I should make that decision for someone else. I once talked my ex -sister in law out of having an abortion.She called crying that she had just found out she was with child and could not handle another child,She had a real handful with the three she had.She knew how I felt about the issue because it took me so long to have my youngest who is two months older than her youngest.At any rate she listened to me and he was born two months after mine.I have been to some of these events and Rebekka is right all they do is tell them to go on welfare then complain about welfare or single moms. LOL I also agree that if sex ed was better taught abortion would be much less than it is and of course the use of preventive measures. I just never liked the way some used it to excess instead of using preventive measures.

Of course, the earliest feminist leaders were decidedly pro-women’s health. And the first thing they taught women, as important to them as learning to read, were the available methods of birth control. Their abortion work was necessarily underground, since it was a harsh prison sentence to provide such services. And of course, that is a historical fact. No wonder Sarah was ignorant.

Please do some research before making assertions–i.e., cannot determine sex at 12 weeks and neck thickness (actually the thickness of the skin at the neck) not being measured or significant at 12 weeks. A little research online will tell you that sex CAN be determined with a high degree of certainty at 12 weeks and that the thickness of the neck skin at 12 weeks can be a sign of possible Down’s. Making sweeping statements (as we all do at times) undermines credibility and lessens the impact of the legitimate points that are being made.

I think this explains the LA wishful thinking law making abortion illegal:

NEAR-TOTAL WITH DELAYED EFFECTIVE DATE (”TRIGGER” BAN)

In 2006, Louisiana enacted a near-total ban on abortion, to become effective if the Supreme Court overturns Roe v. Wade, or if a constitutional amendment is adopted that allows states to ban abortion.

Well, she was in Louisiana. Where it’s a crime to perform abortions.

Evidently it was legal in 2005 based on the statistics – I’m not so sure about it being “illegal”…I live here and have never heard the law being updated…
