But the anger among the women who you might think would cheer her pluck and smarts descends into the hysterical and the mindless. Maybe the feminists think she stole their revolution; she has done what they couldn't do. She's a self-made woman, with a family of five, who took on the old boys in Alaska and beat them at their sordid game while holding onto her femininity. She didn't chip away at her convictions just to get where she is. Pro-choice feminists pay lip service to the idea that it's all right for a woman to refuse an abortion to live up to her moral values, but there's usually a little snickering on the side, suggesting that she just doesn't know any better. Palin's choice, to spurn an abortion to give birth to a Down syndrome child, makes the moral clarity of her decision unassailable. She accepted the full consequences of choice. The most malicious remark I've heard is the suggestion that she wouldn't have had the child if she weren't a prominent politician, pandering to her base. http://townhall.com/colum...ile,_rage_and_sarah_palin
Pro-lifers are the only group of people who do not get called what they call themselves. They are called "anti-choice". So be it. That makes abortion supporters "anti-life" or "pro-death". - BK
