We were a little hard on Palin yesterday. Sorry about that. At this time, I don't make the news, I just condense it and complain about it. I'm new at this. Plus, there wasn't anything especially inflammatory about Obama yesterday. So I did a little digging, to offer the other side of the story. We all know Sarah Palin is pro-life and pro-abstinence. She supports abstinence only education, and as we saw, will literally stand between you and the hospital you're headed to for an abortion. If that's what you believe, she will be a great candidate for you.
Obama has the exact opposite idea, of course. God forbid the two parties agree on something.
From Obama's website:

REPRODUCTIVE CHOICE
Supports a Woman's Right to Choose:Barack Obama understands that abortion is a divisive issue, and respects those who disagree with him. However, he has been a consistent champion of reproductive choice and will make preserving women's rights under Roe v. Wade a priority as President. He opposes any constitutional amendment to overturn the Supreme Court's decision in that case.
Preventing Unintended Pregnancy:Barack Obama is an original co-sponsor of legislation to expand access to contraception, health information and preventive services to help reduce unintended pregnancies. Introduced in January 2007, the Prevention First Act will increase funding for family planning and comprehensive sex education that teaches both abstinence and safe sex methods. The Act will also end insurance discrimination against contraception, improve awareness about emergency contraception, and provide compassionate assistance to rape victims. (Bolding is mine)
Why did I bold that? If you read the news at all, you know Palin actually started charging rape victims for the rape kits while she was in office in Alaska.
They are very different on their stands, and if abortion is a hot topic for you, please, read ALL the facts before casting your ballot.
