WASHINGTON – Republican John McCain, whose running mate disclosed that her unmarried 17-year-old daughter is pregnant, has opposed proposals to spend federal money on teen-pregnancy prevention programs and voted to require poor teen mothers to stay in school or lose their benefits.




Why is your daughter not still in school?

Why is Alaska #1 in Chlamydia infections? http://www.cdc.gov/std/stats/figures/figure3.htm


Has anyone actually seen Governor Palin or the Feminists For Life organization she is a member of (http://www.feministsforlife.org/) address any of these issues since she has become Governor or Alaska or since she was Mayor of Wasilla?

I can find loads of information about Sarah Palin and her big oil connections but none or barely any information about how she would help protect women.

She's an independent maverick for big oil but not so much for women's health and safety.

Edit to add link to Amnesty International regarding high rate of rape against Native and Alaskan women:

Wrong on everything. Just like bush!

5. Because she's homeschooled

I thought Pubbies wanted to close down "government schools", and yet here they are wanting poor teen mothers to stay in them? :wtf:
