Palin picks a pro-choice Judge

[SaveALib]

That's a pretty tough step for her I would think. But it is a good political move no doubt. Nice work again Governor Palin! It seems the lady Judge is very competent and common sensical.

Obviously Governor Palin realizes there are more issues before the courts than abortion. Either way, way to go Governor!

[SaveALib]

Yep, she knows what is up. There are definitely issues which she will excel in aside from those dealing with baby killings.

Palin has abandoned her right-to-life positions. Ambition got the better of her. You saw that on Greta where she agrees with her daughter that abstinence only policies don't work.

So, if your support for her was based on her unwavering conservative values, think again. If instead you like the Moose schtick, stick with her.

Do you believe in abortion for any reason?

a. No link to a story.

b. At the present time, Roe prevents abortion from becoming a states rights issue. It shouldn't, but it does.

c. Conservatives don't use political positions as a litmus test for good or bad judges. We judge them by how faithful they are to the Constitution. There's a difference between politically advocating a pro-choice position and substituting that political position for a constitutional interpretation.

I was lazy and I saw it on Fox News channel.

Not advocating the judge by any means, but it shows perhaps a side of Sarah Palin's political adeptness that we have not seen through the election, at least have not seen or heard about from the liberal media.

Well I believe in abortion for 1 reason, rape/assault induced pregnancy. I'm on the fence about the early/safe abortions. And the reasons for those early abortions should be rape/assault or the detection of a problem that could occur during delivery which would harm the mother.

I would hope this judge is faithful to the Constitution of course, and I think Sarah Palin would only recommend a person who does, well I would hope she would.

So, you are pro-choice as is Sarah. I wasn't sure where you were headed with the thread, and that is why I asked.

As for me, I believe this particular issue is a matter for the individual states, and not the federal government. I do not agree with abortion. At the same time, it is not my business to try and force others to live their lives via my approval on this matter. I believe that is an issue for the actual people involved, whether it be in conjunction with faith, medicine, family, or anyone else said person wishes to consult with. At the end of the day, I am not the one that a person has to answer to. I believe that that is left to God, as He sees fit. If that person is not religious, then it is still up to them.

Great Guy,
This is nothing personal towards your comments. I'm just quoting part of it. :-)
This being the case then abortion should not be a constitutional matter and the government should stay out of it all together. I, too, believe that God gave us free will and each of us will answer for our decisions but what responsibility do we as a nation have before God.? Roe v. Wade is law and our nation has legalized abortion/the murder of God's creation.
Btw, I thought Gov. Palin is pro-life.

I was excited about and supported Palin during the campaign, but this has made me re-consider my support. This doesn't mean that I wouldn't support her again, but abortion is a thing w/me. We are all here because we weren't torn from our mother's wombs. The choice comes before intercourse. If abstinence isn't an option for some then have the baby and put it up for adoption. The baby had no hand in bringing itself in to existence.

If Governor Palin has picked a pro-abortion judge as you all say she has, she will not have my support in the future for any run for higher office.

I have no doubt that there were other fine judges that she could have picked who were not pro-abortion and more than qualified for high judicial positions in Alaska.

I too was disappointed in her Greta van Susteren appearance with her daughter Bristol when she brang Bristol's child on to the set.

I suspect that if one looks closely at Bristol's high school curriculum you will find hard core pornographic Planned Parenthood sex education courses in the mix which she probably was required to take for graduation and which she probably took not long before becoming pregnant with her child. I could be wrong but I don't think so.

I've seen similar scenarios play out before with many others who had no inclination to overcoming the natural inhibitions to waiting before engaging in sexual intercourse until they took the hard core pornographic Planned Parenthood sex education courses in high school that they were required to take for graduation.

And, of course, the resulting unplanned children are often further victimized by not having married parents when they are either raised in single parent households or they are aborted for their inconvenience.

Surely, this change of pro-life convictions for Governor Palin will endear her to the hyenas in the "drive-by" media who skewered her no end for her previously pro-life conservative views but for myself I will look to someone else to lead the conservative movement out of the wilderness in 2012 which saddens me no end.

If true this may be a signal she doesn't want anything to do with 2012.
