    choice is the keyword

    The "pro lifers" have no business using the word choice when they praise how Sarah Palin "chose" to give birth to a child with Down's syndrome and now how her 17 year old daughter is "choosing" to continue her pregnancy. Palin, and others with her point of view, don't believe that abortion should ever be allowed, even when the mother was raped or the victim of incest. So how can they proudly say that Palin made a choice when continuing a pregnancy was supposedly never an issue for her. Or is it only other women who should never have a choice whether or not to have a baby?
