Should Obama have picked Hillary?

Did the GOP just co-opt the Democrats' chance at making history? Sarah Palin, a conservative, antiabortion, pro-NRA Republican may just be the first woman in the White House.

    Decided To Continue

    I've read in several articles that Palin "decided" to continue her pregnancy, as if she's in favor of women having the choice to "decide" one way or the other. Many women have made similar choices, both Democrat and Republican. But her stance is that abortion should be illegal in ALL circumstances. She "decided" to continue her pregnancy, but she wants to make sure that other women can't "decide" whether to continue a pregnancy - they would be forced to do so, whether they want to or not.

    I just find it odd that so many articles are using this wording, which makes her position sound benign and even pro-choice.
