Last Thursday at a GOP rally in Waukesha, WI, McCain said that, on the issue of abortion, “Sen. Obama has a clear radical, far-left, pro-abortion record.” Yesterday, Palin at a rally in Johnstown, PA, continued with this line of criticism, proclaiming that she and McCain will be “defenders of the culture of life” and slamming Obama with a multitude of comments like, “In short, Sen. Obama is a politician who has long since left behind even the middle ground on the issue of life. He’s fighting with those who won’t protect a child born alive.”
Palin approved her own character by reference to her commitment to birthing her down syndrome child, Trig: “As for our beautiful baby boy, for Todd and me, he is only more precious because he is vulnerable.”
“Yes, every innocent life matters. Everyone belongs in the circle of protection. Every child has something to contribute to the world, if we give them that chance. There are the world’s standards of perfection … and then there are God’s, and these are the final measure. Every child is beautiful before God, and dear to Him for their own sake.”
