Palin Teenage Pregancy.
What no one is considering here is the possibility that this young girl could have been coerced/pressured by her boyfriend into having unprotected sex. She also could have been raped/incested. And given her mother's zero tolerance stance on abortion, that would mean that the possibility exists that this young girl is being forced by her mother to ...

Why John McCain should put Sarah Palin on the Supreme Court.
While you are at the moral high horse it is a good idea to have look at the following subjects. The party has moved from taking the female vote for granted to outright contempt for women. That’s why Palin represents the most serious conservative threat ever to the modern liberal claim on issues of cultural and social superiority. Why? Because men ...

Family Values
I guess we're back to the abortion issues again... For the record, I was Pro-Life long before I became an evangelical Christian. Until people begin to get honest about the destructive results of sex outside of marriage (incidentally, I was every bit a promiscuous as the next person before I became a Christian) this entire discussion is futile. ...

Palin's Choice
I love the thought of women ascending to high office. While women haven't hit the executive office yet, many fine and talented woman have been in the Senate, Congress, and cabinet positions for decades. As a child of the 70s I myself am abundantly gifted with the benefits of the 70s woman's movement. But the thing that bothers me about Sara ...

Forgetting some choices?
In a post-Juno world, how could you say that the only options are getting married (''ruining your life'') or having an abortion (''making the responsible choice''). These girls have the opportunity to carry their baby to term, and then give it away to a couple who wants one. Why was that not even presented as an option? And I'm sorry, but is a ...
