Palin on pregnancy following rape
It’s easy to make fun of Sarah Palin’s stumbling interviews. But this clip casts a clear light on where she stands on a very personal issue. Every woman in America should see it. She tries to do her politician thing and squirm out of giving a straight answer, but Couric does her best to pin her down.
Palin’s response to a woman who has been raped and gotten pregnant as a result: sorry, but too bad — you are required to keep it.
Should she get elected, this is going to be the position of the President of U.S. Senate, the person who casts a tie-breaking vote, the second most powerful post in the country, and — should something happen in the next four years to a 72-year-old with a history of recurrent cancer — the President of the United States.
