The Sarah Palin Fixation

How massively selfish can you be?

1. She's very pro-life and very vocal about it. Fine. ("After all, her baby has Down syndrome, and she didn't abort him!" Why do we assume that that has anything to do with pro-life/pro-choice? Concluding that disabled people are still people--why are we all pretending that this makes you noble?)

2. She's an evangelical Christian and very vocal about it. Okay.

3. Her teenage daughter is pregnant, Palin has the above two conditions constantly attached to her name, and she still accepted the VP spot? She's willing to expose your daughter to all the criticisms and judgment of the press and public? I don't care if Bristol told Palin she was okay with it. She had to know her daughter would be subjected to all this. Why did she agree to go so incredibly high-profile at this time? I would never voluntarily do that to my child.

Pfft. I don't get her.

P.S. Baby or no baby, deciding to get married at 17 is probably not a good idea.
