Your comments are based upon faulty information, making me think you’ve never been involved in a pregnancy or with prenatal care.

Choosing to have an amniocentesis does not mean a person is considering abortion. I know, because my wife has been pregnant five times, and we’ve had more than one “amnio” procedure — and we never once considered abortion as an option.

Sarah Palin’ own recent pregnancy raise the same “pro-choice” concerns for the hard right. First, she is protrayed as knowing the Down Syndrome affliction of the child she carried and “chose” to have the child anyways. Similarly, her own pregnancy demontrates she did consider abortion as a choice. That is, in order to know she was going to have a Down Syndrome child, she had to have been offered and consented to an invasive procedure (amniocentisis – sp?), agreed to genetic testing and agreed to be advised of the results. If she is hard “pro-life” as she is being branded for the right, once she knew she was pregnant, there was no need for the tests or the results since the information was irrelevant to the pregnancy. Her alleged hard pro-life principles required her to carry the fetus to term regardless of the information obtained. These facts, and her admission she “chose” to carry the fetus to term upon obtaining and considering this information, shows she does in fact support choice. The bottom line, she is duping the “pro-life” right with her politically expedient branding while she engages in conduct which evidences “pro-choice”. In short, “choice” for me and mine, but not for the rest of you. Now, if only the media will explore these stark contradictions for the voters and make her explain the unexplainable. This is no longer about her daughter, it is Sarah Palins words and actions that are the issue. Peace, Out. By Lance Free
