After watching the interview with Sarah Palin and Katie Couric I was really disturbed to hear Palin’s views on abortion. I knew she was pro-life but not to this extreme. She believes that even if a woman is raped she should still carry the baby to term and choose adoption. Palin also suggest “counseling” the woman into making the right decision which would ultimately be choosing life. I don’t understand how a woman can be against another woman having control over her own body and choosing for herself. It does not matter if a woman chooses abortion or not the point is, is that she can choose for herself. McCain has said in an interview that Palin is an asset to his campaign because she is a “counterpart to the liberal feminist agenda”, and this is a good thing? What’s the point of having a female in the white house if she does not support woman’s rights? To be the first female vice-presidential candidate she is certainly not doing a good job of supporting her fellow woman.
