Just how far does Palin go in her "pro-life" stance?

[Faygo Kid]

Rape OK?

Incest OK?

And the biggest one: Health of the mother matter, or is she merely a non-sentient being with no right to her life other than to incubate cells?

Just curious. How extreme is Palin on this issue?

1. Faygo

More important. You play @ California tomorrow. Prediction?

[Faygo Kid]

5. Precisely. OK, my heart over my head: State 31-21.

Javon Ringer is awesome, one of the top 5 backs in the nation.

Don't know about Hoyer. He's a mystery; his quarterbacking against Boston College in the bowl game was the worst we Michigander expatriates have seen since Scott Mitchell/Joey Harrington.

If he's on, they're going to be tough to beat. Look out for State's linebackers. They are animals.

If Cal takes us lightly, they are cooked. My head says Cal 24-17. My heart says State 31-21, with Ringer rumbling for 170 yards, and the D and special teams scoring at least one touchdown each.

Dantonio is going to do great things in East Lansing. Thank God our long national nightmare is over (John L. Smith).

I'm in Iowa City. To be honest, I've never seen more apathy. Usually, the town is nuts. Maybe the flood. Maybe the don't care attitude of the team. Anyhoo, I've never been so unexcited for a season to start. FUCKING SAD

[Faygo Kid]

18. Well, good luck, except against us. We owe you one, and we have you at home.

Kirk Ferentz was the darling of the NFL. Great job. But he has lost institutional control, which is always fatal. Iowa's top recruit for 2009, David Barrent (OL, ranked number 1 in the state), decommitted from Iowa to MSU because of all the problems.

We know about that stuff at MSU, after the Bobby Williams-John L. Smith eras. Now we have the right guy in Dantonio. He's going to shake up the power structure in the Big Ten.

It ebbs and flows. I think it may be time for Ferentz to take a walk. I wish Iowa all the best except in one game. But remember, amidst your apathy, that there is no sporting event finer than a college football game on campus on a clear day in October, with good friends and tailgating. So enjoy no matter what happens.

[Condem]

21. Good luck, tomorrow, Faygo

I'll be watching!!!

[BlueIdaho]

2. Palin - an end to all abortions everywhere - full stop.

[Faygo Kid]

7. Cite? I don't doubt you, but I want to shout it from the rooftops.

We damned well better start looking into this person's extreme views.

[Jeff In Milwaukee]

16. Here you go

http://www.naral.org/elections/election-pr...2008_palin.html

She's also opposed to allowing Alaske's state insurance plan cover birth control.

She's a fundie's fundie.

[Faygo Kid]

19. Can you repost? "Webpage cannot be found"

Thanks.

[K Gardner]

3. No abortion, period, even for rape or incest.

[depakid]

9. And you can bet she supports Bush's efforts to equate birth control with abortion too

This is a certified nutter.

[moriah]

23. "Millions of women are having mini-abortions every month without their knowledge!"

Yeah, that crowd.

[K Gardner]

25. Look at the "manifesto" for the "FEMINIST" group she belongs to..

[vaberella]

4. Her and McCain deserve each other. She goes to the most extreme for anti-abortion. n/t

[Danger Mouse]

6. No abortion. At all.

[lonestarnot]

8. Killer of wildlife for big oil OK

Baby wolf killer!

[LostInAnomie]

10. If your daughter, sister, niece, etc. are raped tomorrow...

... Palin will fight for the rights of the rapist to keep the baby.

[Greg K]

13. Not that this isn't important..

.. but what's REALLY important is McCain's Supreme Court pics. If he gets a chance to stack the court with more of the same, Roe v. Wade is a goner even if Palin were pro-choice.

[LostInAnomie]

15. Palin will be one shaky heart-beat away from the presidency.

If she gets the opportunity her appointments would not only gut Roe vs Wade, they would crush women's reproductive and health rights.

I don't think even McCain goes as far as protecting rapists and forcing women to go to term at the risk of death.

[Beausoir]

12. All the way to the wall. NO reproductive choice for ANYONE no matter what.,

She's a monster.

[RoadRage]

14. Not far enough to give a fuck about the lives of the soldiers in Iraq..

including her oldest son. Add to that.. the Iraqi kids, etc.

But other then that she's quite pro-life. :eyes:

[moriah]

17. Check out the Feminists for Life page... she's a member there...

What I want to find out is if she believes that certain forms of contraception are actually abortion.

For example, the progesterone-only pill, the IUD, Norplant, the NuvaRing, essentially all hormonal birth control but progesterone-only BCPs are considered worse by many Pro-Lifers.

Quite a few believe that a woman taking a pill that does not always, 100% of the time, prevent conception but will prevent implantation is an abortificaent and therefore "millions of women are having countless mini-abortions every month".

Therefore they believe the only ethical birth control is tubal ligation, vasectomy, or barrier methods.

[LuckyTheDog]

20. How would she enforce a ban on abortion?

See my thread here: http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=132x6825217

[moriah]

22. The only "abortion" that Feminists for Life support is in case of ectopic pregnancy.

Since in that case neither the mother nor the fetus would be able to survive if it continued.

Well. At least they are that understanding.
