Sarah Palin, who is an idiot and therefore just doesn't get it, proudly told a pro-life conference that she considered an abortion before choosing to have Trig.
Usually everything Sarah Palin says is a lie, but her well-documented attempt to conceal the pregnancy and the fact that she got that amniocentesis point to a genuine intention to terminate the pregnancy, until she thought it over some more and chose to carry Trig to term.
She thought this was a really great anecdote to share with a group that thinks that she should not have legally been provided with the option she didn't choose.
And they all probably loved her little speech anyway because, hey, she may be a moron, but she's their moron.

They could have given the loan on the condition that the automakers start building only cars and mass transit that reduce our dependency on oil.
They could have given the loan on the condition that the automakers build cars that reduce global warming.
They could have given the loan on the condition that the automakers withdraw their many lawsuits against state governments in their attempts to not comply with our environmental laws.
They could have given the loan on the condition that the management team which drove these once-great manufacturers into the ground resign and be replaced with a team who understands the transportation needs of the 21st century.
Yes, they could have given the loan for any of these reasons because, in the end, to lose our manufacturing infrastructure and throw 3 million people out of work would be a catastrophe.
But instead, the Senate said, we'll give you the loan only if the factory workers take a $20 an hour cut in wages, pension and health care. That's right. After giving BILLIONS to Wall Street hucksters and criminal investment bankers -- billions with no strings attached and, as we have since learned, no oversight whatsoever -- the Senate decided it is more important to break a union, more important to throw middle class wage earners into the ranks of the working poor than to prevent the total collapse of industrial America.
We have a little more than a month to go of this madness. As I sit here in Michigan today, tens of thousands of hard working, honest, decent Americans do not believe they can make it to January 20th. The malaise here is astounding. Why must they suffer because of the mistakes of every CEO from Roger Smith to Rick Wagoner? Make management and the boards of directors and the shareholders pay for this.
Of course that is heresy to the 31 Republicans who decided to blame the poor, miserable autoworkers for this mess. And our wonderful media complied with their spin on the morning news shows: "UAW Refuses to Give Concessions Killing Auto Bailout Bill." In fact the UAW has given concession after concession, reduced their benefits, agreed to get rid of the Jobs Bank and agreed to make it harder for their retirees to live from week to week. Yes! That's what we need to do! It's the Jobs Bank and the old people who have led the nation to economic ruin!
But even doing all that wasn't enough to satisfy the bastard Republicans. These Senate vampires wanted blood. Blue collar blood. You see, they weren't opposed to the bailout because they believed in the free market or capitalism. No, they were opposed to the bailout because they're opposed to workers making a decent wage. In their rage, they were driven to destroy the backbone of this country, not because the UAW hadn't given back enough, but because the UAW hadn't given up.
It appears that the sitting President has been looking for a way to end his reign by one magnanimous act, just like a warlord on his feast day. He will put his finger in the dyke, and the fragile mess of an auto industry will eke through the next few months.
That will give the Senate enough time to demand that the bankers and investment sharks who've already swiped nearly half of the $700 billion gift a chance to make the offer of cutting their pay.
You're not a woman, so I can't imagine you'll ever have to go through the agony of chosing your 'health' over your pregnancy. I'm sure you'll never have to go through the pain of deciding to have a late-term abortion. Because you're such an ignorant idiot, I thought I'd give you a few examples of heartbreaking accounts by women, of their experiences with late-term abortions.
ps autism and downs syndrome are not remotely similar, so i really don't get how Sarah Palin knows better than anyone what it's like to raise a child with autism.
This political race makes my heart hurt. Here's a comment (that wasn't condemned by ANYONE on LGF:) This is what happens when you continue to brand Obama as a potential killer and an accessory to past attempts at murder.

I am getting a little tired of all you chicken shit wimps saying if Obama gets in the Republic is finished.
Where are your balls, we are obligated to overthrow that same government. The Declaration of Independence mandates it.
If you are going to tell me that all you cowards will let it happen.
Do me a favor and stand in front of my rifle so you can protect Obama and shield the Marxists and traitors from my aim.
Paper tiger is right. More than 60 million guns and all I hear is weeping and whining.
This is an opportunity to get it right and straighten it out.
ALL WE NEED IS THE COURAGE.
If you want my address and some ammo let me know .
I cannot believe some of you cowards. The enemy has infiltrated our electoral process, you fail to see it. Then we are letting it happen and are preparing to surrender. Pathetic.
I'm just trying to understand why the republican party is condoning such hate? I want to understand how this party is 'uniting' people, and putting their country first. this makes me so sad. But Palin, instead of putting her country first, will continue to incite hate and fear at her rallies, because this party will do anything to win.
PS. America, Muslim does not equal terrorist. If you are inclined to believe any of the bullshit you've heard on any of these videos I implore you to please get an education before you vote. Use the internet, it's right at your fingertips!
be extremely condescending. lie a lot! refuse to answer the questions presented to you by the moderator, and instead just talk about whatever your party has been coaching you on for weeks. Refuse to 'argue' a point during a debate. keep pronouncing the word nuclear incorrectly (after all the prez does it, so why should you have to be any smarter than him?) become increasingly adorable as you babble a bunch of nonsense and fragment sentences. smile your little heart out. Oh, and best - talk about how TOLERANT you are, lol!
Apparently all you have to do to win the hearts and minds of stupid Americans is to NOT swollow your tongue and pass out during a debate. As long as sounds come out of your mouth at the right time, it doesn't matter what you say. And being mildly attractive helps.
I'm so sad for America. Anytime Biden said anything remotely intelligent the little 'audience response' meter on Cnn went down. BOO! Talk to us like we're dumb! Sarah Palin, just so you know, I hate you and I don't care about stupid Todd. Jeez. Biden, I understand why you didn't wipe the floor with Palin, but by not taking her to task on all the ridiculous and nonsensical things she was saying, people will see her as 'holding her own' during the debate. BARF.
The Chairman of the Republican in Macomb County, Michigan (of course) party said this, "“We will have a list of foreclosed homes and will make sure people aren’t voting from those addresses”
Who says these people have moved out of their homes? Who says they aren't going to work out a payment plan with the bank? The idea is to discourage people and to waste their time. That seems really anti-american and also mean spirited to me. I'm sure Republicans see it differently though. Unfortunately, this is also happening in other places, like Franklin County, Ohio. I almost forgot to mention that the notices sent out in the mail, challenging a voters rights are intentionally designed to look like junkmail, so many people just throw them out.
“The Republican-led state Senate has not moved on the anti-predatory lending bill for over a year and yet [Republicans] have time to prey on those who have fallen victim to foreclosure to suppress the vote.”
I was watching Sarah Palin (and the rest of these butts, except Huckabee - he's funny) speak tonight and I'm just totally grossed out. There are only a couple things I have to say:
1. I would really like to rescue that poor baby Trig from these people. "Hi let's exploit a baby & my pregnant teen daughter. also i give my kids stupid names."
2. What a giant hatefest. It's really sick. The DNC was so positive and upbeat that i felt hopeful and good and a little teary-eyed. This is so negative, and ridiculous. To discredit the work that Obama did for his community as a recent college grad - is just strange. What was Palin doing? Beaut Pageants? PTA? part-time sports reporting? If you don't know what a community organizer does, read this and then ask yourself what you were doing when you were 23 yrs old.
3. ps. why are the people at this convention so creepy and why all the cowboy hats? and why the poor poster making skills?
