My thanks to the diary poster who linked to the debate. With a few programs that I have, I captured it, took out the part where she talks about abortion in cases of rape (and even stated that she would force her own daughter to bear a rapist's child), and put it on Youtube. But I need your help to spread this message.
The incredibly cynical Palin at first declares that it is a 'private matter', but then proceeds to express support for making abortions in cases of rape a crime. Not terribly private. But we are used to fundamentalist doubletalk, aren't we?
Please rate this video on Youtube, and e-mail it to any self-respecting woman you know, or any decent man (if the Republicans can spread lies about Barack, surely we can spread the truth about their candidates).

Transcript:
Q: And if the woman had been raped, and didn't want to have the child, would you allow her to have an abortion in that instance?
Palin: You know, with my respect for the sanctity of life, and my belief in the potential of life, I know that this aspect of the abortion issue is very sensitive, and you know, it is a very private matter also. But personally, I would choose life.
Q: Let me ask a question that was raised by a member of the audience on this issue. If your daughter were pregnant, or your son were involved in a pregnancy, what would your reaction be? I mean, if it was before marriage or anything like that. What would your reaction and advice to him or her be?
Palin: Again, I would choose life. And certainly, I am quite confident that you will be asking my opponents those same scenarios.
Q: I will, but if your daughter had been raped, would that be something you would feel?
Palin: Again, I would choose life.
Yes, we can!
