McCain's big running-mate rollout

    Does choice only mean you have to terminate a pregnancy?

    Are you kidding, asking a question like this?

    Of course, choice doesn't only mean you have to terminate a pregnancy.

    But, the policy position that Palin espouses means that, if she and McCain are elected, they will try to make sure that the only choice that is available will be giving birth to an unwanted child. Having only one choice is not a choice. Understand?

    But, in the upside-down world that is right-wing Republicanism, a policy like that is not the same thing as government telling anyone what to do.
