Sarah Palin Totally Supports Gay Rights! (Yeah Right)
September 30th, 2008 by Evil BeetFrom her interview tonight with Katie Couric:
But as for homosexuality, I am not going to judge Americans and the decisions that they make in their adult personal relationships. I have one of my absolute best friends for the last 30 years happens to be gay, and I love her dearly. And she is not my “gay friend,” she is one of my best friends, who happens to have made a choice that isn’t a choice that I have made. But I am not going to judge people.
You hear that, people?
Homosexuality is a perfectly acceptable choice.
She also thinks that teenage victims of rape and incest really ought to have the babies no matter what. Although she wouldn’t actually support jailing the aforementioned teenager for not wanting to carry the incest-rapey child in her body for nine months and then endure the pain of passing it through her vaginal canal just so it’s extra extra extra hard to get closure on that sort of unspeakable trauma, so that’s sweet. Oh, and the morning-after pill? That’s a no-go with her, too.
Couric: If a 15-year-old is raped by her father, do you believe it should be illegal for her to get an abortion, and why?
Palin: I am pro-life. And I’m unapologetic in my position that I am pro-life. And I understand there are good people on both sides of the abortion debate. In fact, good people in my own family have differing views on abortion, and when it should be allowed. Do I respect people’s opinions on this. Now, I would counsel to choose life. I would also like to see a culture of life in this country. But I would also like to take it one step further. Not just saying I am pro-life and I want fewer and fewer abortions in this country, but I want them, those women who find themselves in circumstances that are absolutely less than ideal, for them to be supported, and adoptions made easier.
Couric: But ideally, you think it should be illegal for a girl who was raped or the victim of incest to get an abortion?
Palin: I’m saying that, personally, I would counsel the person to choose life, despite horrific, horrific circumstances that this person would find themselves in. And, um, if you’re asking, though, kind of foundationally here, should anyone end up in jail for having an … abortion, absolutely not. That’s nothing I would ever support.
Couric: Some people have credited the morning-after pill for decreasing the number of abortions. How do you feel about the morning-after pill?
Palin: Well, I am all for contraception. And I am all for preventative measures that are legal and save, and should be taken, but Katie, again, I am one to believe that life starts at the moment of conception. And I would like to see …
Couric: And so you don’t believe in the morning-after pill?
Palin: … I would like to see fewer and fewer abortions in this world. And again, I haven’t spoken with anyone who disagrees with my position on that.
Couric: I’m sorry, I just want to ask you again. Do you not support or do you condone or condemn the morning-after pill.
Palin: Personally, and this isn’t McCain-Palin policy …
Couric: No, that’s OK, I’m just asking you.
Palin: But personally, I would not choose to participate in that kind of contraception.
ZOMG.
I can’t write any more about this.
I’m already in a bad enough mood.
Before you leave a comment, please make sure you've read our Guide to Commenting. It could save you a great deal of embarrassment.
There were a few mistakes that made it confusing sometimes.
OMG she makes my head hurt.
Can someone just take her back to Alaska and bury her in a snowbank please?
Um, Sarah Palin may not be my favorite person ever, but I agree with her on this topic.
Stopping the life of an unborn child is ridiculously cruel and immoral. [I'm not trying to justify rape of young girls.]
Abortion is like age discrimination.
It’s the woman’s choice? Bullllshittt. What about the kid?
And no shit they can’t voice their opinion, they don’t have the ability to.
We stand up for the rights of animals but we won’t even fucking side with our fellow humans.
What a wonderful, hypocritical society we live in.
If you’re pro-choice & looking to try and understand the pro-life perspective..watch this.

I wouldn’t get too worked up about how much of an idiot she is. It’s pretty clear all the buzz and excitement surrounding when McCain first announced her as his VP candidate has died down and people are starting to see what a fucking moron she really is. Most of the republicans I know even realize just how unqualified and dangerous this woman is.
Whats so wrong with being pro life? It is obviously a horrible situation when someone is a victim of rape or incest. But it is not the baby’s fault that it happened. Why should you cheat the infant out of having a life. Nobody said that you had to raise the baby, you can give it up for adoption. And I know that giving birth hurts like hell. But you would rather not have that pain than giving a human the chance of growing up.
I am going to enjoy the debate on Thursday so much.
I like her stand on abortion and homosexuality… It’s too bad that she doesn’t have the guts to say it with more conviction.
She’ll make a good Vice President.
Beet WTF is going on with you. This blog is becoming quite depressing. Here’s a ((HUG)). There. Now borrow Hayden’s pink toy and get back to normal!!! You are way too good for this! Cheer up.
The interview–wedge issue. I see Obama possibly reworking Roe v Wade–with his “rigorously defined mental health exception,” before Palin.
“I can see Russia from my house”, its amazing how well that little line sums up Sarah Palin. Does anybody know who wrote that line, or if Tina Fey wrote it herself?
I’m with you TSS, she’s not as dumb as everyone makes her out to be.
She’s not dumb, she’s just average. Scary average.
Here’s a hearty “fuck you” to her and anyone else who would tell me that I or one of my daughters shouldn’t or couldn’t take the morning after pill after being raped.
Giving birth doesn’t “hurt like hell” and it’s downright insulting to suggest that’s the reason why a woman wouldn’t want to carry a constant reminder of such a horrific experience.
“She also thinks that teenage victims of rape and incest really ought to have the babies no matter what.”
Beet, what are you saying? That since the fetuses resulted from unwanted/forced sex are less valued than others, it’s OK to abort them? It’s alright to abort a so-called “life” if you really, really didn’t want it? Stupidest standpoint ever. For the record I’m all for abortions regardless of the situation, so when I hear people say “Well, I don’t think people should abort but if it was rape then it’s totally OK!!!” the hypocrisy really pisses me off.
Palin thinks all those fetuses should be born. Just because that means that she includes the unwanted ones doesn’t make her a terrible person, it means she sticks to her values 100%, rather than saying “All ‘life’ is valuable! But rape-related abortions are A-OK because it just wasn’t expected!”
What’s the problem with Palin’s standpoint? It’s her personal opinion… Palin wants a nation where abortions and morning-after pills aren’t necessary — where people can be more responsible with their sex life so they don’t have to rely on controversial methods to keep from spawning. I remember reading that McCain wanted to leave it up to the states to form abortion-related laws, rather than have a national thing…
Yo bitch did you just read one fucking sentence out of my post. I didn’t say that’s the reason women choose to have an abortion. A woman is not going to forget that shit 9 months after. Thats gonna stay with you your whole life.
Abortions should not only be legal, but they should be absolutely free! At the very least they should offer half off coupon days. Heck, I say that you should be able to abort your pregnancy up to 12 months AFTER you’ve given birth to the kid.
@ nobody,
Thanks. She’s definitely a very intelligent woman who has excellent insight on a variety of arbitrary topics.
She has accomplished so much in such a short period of time. Intelligent and attractive. She’s like the perfect role model for women.
jk, i could not agree with you more
Yea, if I want some Alaskan woman all up in the business of my uterus, I will fuck one.
Haha, yay Lah-Dee-Dah!
are you saying incest babies should still be kept, no matter the rape and the reminder that is bloody growing in you but how about the medical issues that can pop up from that? or from stranger rape what about those mental and physical health issues? abortion should be your choice no matter what but saying its simply not the childs fault so you should be forced to have it is bullshit because maybe you ARE thinking about the child and what it could be/have specially in those sensitive mental illnesses that are genetic.
Mc Cain/Palin….PRO-LIFE and PRO DEATH PENALTY….WTF?
You can choose your own role models if you want, but please don’t choose her as a role model for ALL women.
Ick.
Honestly, people.
I agree with you, Klipper… (that abortions should be legal AND free).
So if abortions ever become illegal, and *I* get raped and become pregnant, I’d dig that shit out with a coat hanger. Throw myself down the stairs.
Look up Sarah Palin’s educational background. It’s alarming considering she could be running the country.
Okay, I’ll just tell you. She has a BS in Communications. Most Barista’s at Starbucks have BS’s in Communications.
Katie missed the crucial questions: What kind of policies would she seek to promote or ban based on her individual pro-lifebeliefs: morning after pill, partial birth abortion, stem cell research, parental notification (a huge issue on the CA ballot that no one is talking about here), etc? Would a judge’s stance on this one issue make or break Palin’s ability to nominate that judge for a higher court position?
Those are the key questions and Ms Couric blew it. Let’s get to the substance of how her extreme prolife stance would relate to her political decisions. Good God, it’s not that hard to make the discussion actually relevant to the position for which she is running. Put her on the spot, damn it. Make her say something not middle of the road.
I know several people who have personal beliefs about this issue who are in elected or government positions, who refuse to allow this issue to be a determining factor in how they do their jobs. One example would be Elizabeth Dole. I don’t think Palin falls into this category and it blows my mind that Couric failed to highlight that fact.
I hate the media almost as much as I hate both political parties.
“Here’s a hearty “fuck you†to her and anyone else who would tell me that I or one of my daughters shouldn’t or couldn’t take the morning after pill after being raped.”
Cheers!! I will extend that “fuck you” to anyone who wants to take my freedom of thought and freedom of choice away on ANYTHING. Period.
I am also with those of you who say she should have some balls and say what she feels. If she believes you should shut the fuck up and give birth regardless of the circumstances, she should say it. I hate all the dancing around the subject.
The answer is either YES or NO!
Seriously, how fucking hard is that?
I’m pro choice…as in you make the choice to have sex.
Hey copa do you actually think that a kid with mental issues wishes that they weren’t born. That person could make the choice whether they want to live or die. Who are you to say who’s life is important enough to keep.
First, I actually agree with Palin that if she is “pro-life”, than no abortion would be acceptable be it by rape, incest, whatever.
But that is why I am “pro-choice”, talk about punishing the victim, making them carry a baby. Being pregnant, giving birth, and then having that child one day search for them (don’t all adopted children end up doing this?) is not getting away from the situation. I’m pro-life; pro the lives of people who are already here and struggling to make it.
Second, PEOPLE ARE GOING TO HAVE ABORTIONS whether or not they are safe and legal, so make them SAFE and LEGAL!! Letting women risk their lives and die- that’s “pro-life”?! What about the lives of women considering abortions? I am pro THEIR lives.
Thirdly, if you are determined to be “pro-life” than you damn well better have STRONG policies PROMOTING SEX ED and providing easy, accessible BIRTH CONTROL. Because PEOPLE ARE GOING TO HAVE SEX, and when people have sex, they are at risk for getting pregnant, and people who are pregnant sometimes want ABORTIONS. Palin says she is for contraception, then put your money where your mouth is. Did she provide Bristol with sex education and birth control? I think not.
She needs donkey punched so hard.
Typical extreme right wing hypocrite. She won’t kill a fertilized egg or a fetus but she has no problem shooting other animals. Humans are in fact animals, just a little higher up the food chain. We’re not special.
If you don’t mind Yak, I’ll just expand on your theme:
Typical extreme right wing hypocrite. She won’t kill a fertilized egg or a fetus but she has no problem watching real human beings live on the edge of starvation in this first world country. Typical extreme right wing hypocrite. She won’t kill a fertilized egg or a fetus but she has no problem implementing the death penalty. Typical extreme right wing hypocrite. She won’t kill a fertilized egg or a fetus but she has no problem sending innocent American soldiers off to fight an illegal and unjust war. Typical extreme right wing hypocrite. She won’t kill a fertilized egg or a fetus but she has no problem with the tens of thousands of Iraqi citizens who have been killed in this illegal and unjust war.
Beet, honestly, you need to realize half of the u.s. population IS on her side about all these issues. you guys can rant all you want but the fact is that people can be pro-life AND BE OKAY WITH THAT. honestly, you need to recognize that yours is not the only legitimate view point, and I, for one, completely stand behind Palin in her convictions. Just because she says she doesn’t SUPPORT abortion, does not mean that she wants to make it illegal, as she made very clear. She is entitled to her opinions, as are you, but you need to stop assuming that the nation is unequivocally on your side.
@ Becky and jojo:
THANK YOU. You both said exactly what I was going to say, but so much better.
Here’s the bottom line people-if you are “pro-life”, (which maybe we should just call it anti-abortion since jojo pointed out it really isn’t “pro-LIFE” at all), then YOU don’t HAVE to have an abortion. Do you understand that? It’s your choice not to-and other people may make a different choice. But at the end of the day, it’s a choice people are going to make regardless of whether or not abortion is illegal. And it is not pro-”life” to consider the women who could lose their lives attempting to have an abortion by other, unsafe methods if it became illegal.
And abortion is like “age discrimination”?? This is ridiculous. To create a law outlawing abortion would be gender discrimination, because it would uphold the thought process that women are not intelligent enough to make a decision for themselves, and that a woman’s only duty in society is to procreate-regardless of the circumstances.
ribbet! you are so awesome! i sure was missing you for a while, glad you are back…
Leaning towards liberal and being a homosexual, I do not think that this interview was all that bad, or that her positions were all that bad. She seems to be confused in that her questions should not reflect herself but the positions she’s going to take in office, but it doesn’t seem she’s going to take an active stance against things like abortion in the case of instance or rape or homosexual marriage … possibly. Republicans have their opinions and its their right to have their own opinions.
However, although being far better than other interviews she has participated in, she is clearly not in the position to HAVE the position of vice president.
So her gay friend is one she has had for 30 years, I would be very interested if this individual was an openly outted homo when they first got to know each other. My guess is a big fat no.
By the way, nicole…
“Beet, honestly, you need to realize half of the u.s. population IS on her side about all these issues.”
Im pretty sure she does considering that you are leaving messages on HER website and Beet works in the media. Hmmm…..
Its my body and I WILL do what I want with it. I don’t think I could have an abortion myself, but I appreciate the option being there if need be, especially in a time of rape. She has NEVER been raped so I don’t think she should have an opinion on that. Dumb bitch.
Oh and I’ve taken the morning after pill as a precaution (after condom broke, and on birth control) and if anyone wants to take that away from me, I will also give them a big fuck you. The ignorance and the intolerance in this country makes me sick. Oh, btw if she does try to make Morning after pills harder to get take 7 birth control pills, does the same thing.
The morning after pill is only a contraceptive device if the egg has not yet been fertilized. If the egg HAS already been fertilized, a new life has begun and the morning after pill carries out an abortion.
Medical science tells us without a doubt that the life of a new human being begins the second an egg is fertilized. The DNA of a new individual, separate from his mother, definitively determines at that moment, gender, eye, hair and skin color, as well as things like personality traits. One cannot see these things with the naked eye at this point, no fingers or toes etc, but the scientific evidence is confirmable by anyone who can read DNA.
DNA is not a mere blueprint. Physical construction begins upon fertilization. One cannot wish it away. It is undeniable fact.
Rape and incest do not negate these facts. Despite the horror of conceiving a child this way, the child does not suddenly cease to exist as a human being simply because of the method of conception. Do we have the right to arbitrarliy decide to give these children death sentences merely for having been conceived?
Those who are pro-life seek to protect the the lives of the most vulnerable among us. The most innocent and defenseless of all human beings deserve to have THEIR rights to life legally protected. Pre-meditated murder cannot be left to one’s personal discretion.
If for any reason the mother either refuses or is unable to care for her child, the courts regularly appoint a guardian ad-litem to step in on behalf of the child, except in cases of the unborn. These children are proven to exist and yet have no legal rights. Palin and others simply want the courts to recognize current medical evidence and place it into law in an effort to give these helpless children a legal voice.
okay lets look at this from another point of view…pro life means I can’t make a choice about my own body?
let’s say I’m in a seriously fucked situation, i’m pregnant, no support, no job cuz in was fired when they found out i was pregnant, but if ask them it was a lay off, my husband/bf beats me, and will more than likely beat this child i’m carrying…but i should still bring this child into the world, to be mistreated, abused and half starved and will probably end up in the system anyway. yeah pro life…i don’t think so…pro choice, at least you can choose to maybe give your kid a chance in another way.
choice doesn’t mean every woman who ends up knocked up is going to terminate it, but at least she has the choice.
Do you know a lot of woman do not leave the abusive partner for the sake of the child, because it’s better to have a father in the child’s life than none?
What about children born to drug addicts, they are born experiencing withdrawal, and a lot of them die after suffering this withdrawal? and those who don’t end up with a lot of behavioral, and learning issues, and some even physical deformities.
There doesn’t need to be an explanation made to the public why a woman chooses whatever option is best for her body and her life. End of story. Obviously I am not for late term abortions because I think by that time you have already made the choice to carry out your pregnancy, but then again, nobody is for late term abortions. They should be illegal, and are illegal. But equality among the sexes means that women can have the same freedom with their bodies as men have.
And for all those who think the argument is abortion vs. no abortion- you are way too idealist and naive. Just because Sarah Palin (who for some reasons absolutely has no sympathy for rape victims in general- including making them pay for their own rape kits) makes a vow to turn us all into baby making machines, women wont stop having abortions. They have been having abortions since the beginning of time. It’s just much better now, because less of us are dying or becoming ill due to an unsafe or unclean abortion. We need to make sure women have a safe and comfortable environment because an unwanted pregnancy can be very emotionally and physically difficult, no matter what choice a woman makes. Especially after a rape, but some people just can’t seem to grasp just how traumatic and damaging rape is.
And the argument that “you should have thought of that before you had sex” is not only subtley sexist (the male in the situation gets off scot free), it is also idealistic and naive. So many kids don’t get good sex education, and some are taught incest only, so when they have sex (which teens inevitably do no matter what God they believe in or what part of the country they live in) they don’t know how to be safe. It is our job to make sure they are all educated. It is our job to make sure they have access to contraception and birth control. This will not only lower the number of abortions in this country, it will also lower the growing number of teens with STI’s.
Anyway, this woman is no kind of role model for me, and I think most women would agree, hence the endorsement of the Obama/Biden ticket by the National Organization of Women. Hence the Women Against Palin rally in Alaska. Hence the countless other groups of women standing up against this ignorant (not stupid) anti-women politician. Hence the national polling numbers right now among women. You may think she is the ideal woman, TSS, but she is far from what a lot of us women actually aspire to be. A lot of us believe in equality- including equal pay for equal work and an equal say over our bodies. If health insurance wants to cover men’s sexual health pills (I can’t say the name for some reason on this website but it starts with a v and rhymes with diagra), fine, but then they better cover birth control. If we are, God forbid, ever victims of rape, we don’t want to be charged $1200 for a rape kit, or denied the right to take a morning after pill. Stuff like that- all of which McCain/Palin stand against
She has an extreme position, no matter what anyone says (forcing a woman to have a baby after being raped is the very definition of “woman as baby factory”).
And, considering her church ties and the drooling evangelical wackos that claim her as their political savior, I don’t buy for a minute that, given the chance, she would support the overturning of Roe v Wade and making abortion illegal in whatever state of the union she can influence. Let’s not forget that, if she were president within the next four years, she will most likely get to nominate between one and three Supreme Court Justices (pretty scary, considering she can’t name any Supreme Court cases other than Roe v. Wade).
She WILL be acting president at some point throughtout the next four years if elected. McCain is an older gentleman, and will have hospital visits and possibly surgeries. During these times Sarah Palin will be president.
This is why more and mroe conservatives are expressing concern. The National Review just had an article saying Sarah Palin should drop out (for family reasons) for the good of the party. There are very few people out there who would actually feel completely comfortable having someone so ignorant of American government (all three branches- she doesn’t know what the VP does, she doesn’t know any Supreme Court decision after Roe v. Wade, and she doesn’t know Congress or even anything her running mate has proposed or achieved while in the Senate for the past 20 some years- hell, she’s even suggested creating laws that are already written!)
This ignorance, partnered with her extreme right wing views (it would be like us running Dennis Kucinich for VP idealogy-wise), is what scares the majority of the country about her candidacy.
Well I guess I see it differently. I think Palin is a role model for all women. I think Palin is what women’s rights is about. Women’s rights is not about what you stand for but that you can stand for anything you want in the first place. No one can tell you to stand down just because of your gender or the position you hold. Every woman should be like Palin and show as much interest in how they stand on the “life” issue. A lot of little girls take the fact they DO have a voice—for granted. I think Hillary Clinton said it best when asked about Palin’s nomination—in brevity–Palin doesn’t offer liberals/Democrats what liberals/Democrats believe in (”the right direction of this country”) , but “Governor Palin will add an important new voice to the debate.” Governor Palin is a role model because she EXERCISES her voice–no matter your judgment on her potions eloquence or “style.”
As to abortion–late abortions are illegal, but if a woman develops the uncommon —mental or physical heath issue– as a result of the pregnancy that might jeopardize her life–by law her and her doctor CAN determine to terminate the pregnancy in it’s late term. The law is written broadly when they use mental or physical health exception, and any “rigorous” defining of the mental health would be at odds with the original intention of the ruling. It should stay broad because the reality is that it is quite uncommon for women to exercise that right so late into the pregnancy, and most health complications as a result of the pregnancy come up sooner than later. But just because majority of women might naturally not take that road (CHOICE), doesn’t mean that road (choice) should be narrowed. Just like abortion— many women don’t see themselves being able to go through an abortion, but they like to know they have that choice. Narrowing that choice, in small of large bounds, means that the law is written in a way that singles out gender–and such laws conflict with that other law that no law shall be written to discriminate on the basis of so and so, whether by de facto or de jure .
Outlawing abortion is gender discrimination–for the mother–the woman, but legalizing abortion is also age discrimination because a person in his developing stages based on the fact he is in his developmental stages can be removed—. However, anything after birth is innocent under the age of 7, after that a juvenile who cant be put to death, or must be waved up to adult court where it’s still innocent until proven guilty—before anyone can determine to terminate that persons life. It is age discrimination with a line in the sand for a break off point.
Personally good for Palin. In the confines of her position she’s sound. I remember the Catholic church in a certain country also had a similarly view before the catholic church backed off. Communist times. My problem is not her position which aims for a higher society where naturally a person wouldn’t put themselves before another person (or little “to-be” person). It’s idealistic, but noble. Yet in practice such an attitude can have the opposite effect as there is room for human righteousness–and therefor over application of the position–to a point that it actually becomes counter productive. From emphasizing personal responsibility to make way for happy individuals in body mind heart and spirit—-to people broken in body mind heart in spirit. In those communist times–”Counseling” a woman, which is all that Palin is saying here, became “this is your only choice.” Counseling I have no problem with—women rape or not should know ALL the options. But your only course of action—-That I have a HUGE problem with.
Palin is absolutely 100% not a role model for me or my daughters!! This woman has relied heavily on her looks her entire life and has been rewarded for it. Which just sickens me. She has come into this nomination completely unprepared and it is painfully obvious. Would you nominate and then vote for a principle for your child’s school because they are cute, but have zero knowledge of the education system or of Bush’s “No Child Left Behind”? I didn’t think so.
And yes people, Dinosuars is right, she will at some point(s) in time(s) be acting as President of the United States. To simply think of her as a harmless Vice President nominee is very dangerous thinking.
Very thoughtful response, beefy!
My thoughts on abortion are similar. I just think it’s very personal choice, and ought not to be politicized.
As to women’s rights, sure, I think it’s important for women to have a voice on any issue. For me, however, women’s rights are about equality. In the turn of the century (and before) women fought to have equality in our voting- so that they could vote however they’d choose (R or D or I or Green, etc.). Women fought, and are fighting for, equal pay for equal work. Women fought to open up all-male schools so that women had a fair shot at a good education. Women fought for maternity rights so that they would be protceted from unjust firings in the workplace due to pregnancy. Women fought to have sports teams in schools and in the professional arena. And with Roe v. Wade we were fighting to have safety and protection in the choice that we will all make regardless of laws.
Nothing else about Sarah Palin makes her anti-woman to me. But when she actively stands against women having a safe choice, I cannot call her pro-women. When she wants to take our reproductive freedom away, I cannot say that she stands for women’s rights. When she is mayor in a state that has the highest rate of rape, sexual abuse, and domestic violence, and still charges victims for rape kits (including collecting evidence against an attacker), I cannot say she is the epitome of women’s rights. She is an interesting voice in the debate, ok, but it is not a voice of women’s rights. Sure, she, as a politician and contender to become vice president of the United States, is an example of what women’s rights have done for this country. But that does not mean that she herself works or stands for women’s rights.
palin is as dumb as a rock.
Please do not for a minute overlook the fact that there are already hundreds of thousands of children in this country in foster care or group homes because there are not, repeat ARE NOT enough foster parents or homes for children to go to when their parents cannot care for them or give them up. I can’t help but notice that “pro-lifers” never talk about funding more orphanages, or how they will magically produce thousands of foster homes for all these kids that women will be forced to have and give up if their circumstances dictate that they cannot care/pay for a child. Not to mention that most pro-lifer Republicans generally cannot stop castigating single moms on welfare long enough to even take a breath. So you outlaw abortion, and airily say, “Well, they can always give the kid up for adoption,” as if there isn’t already a backlog of kids without homes or parents. Where is the solution to the population increase and a baby boom of unwanted kids??
Oh yeah I forgot – we’ll just teach abstinence. Because that never fails, just ask Sarah “Grandma” Palin.
