Bristol Palin had the "right to choose" according to Sarah Palin's statement

[oberliner]

Here is the relevant quote:

"We're proud of Bristol's decision to have her baby..."

Does that not suggest that Bristol herself had a choice (to have the baby or not) and she, herself, chose to have the baby?

Isn't that contrary to Gov Palin's position on pro-choice?

3. Alaska court says teens don't need parental consent

JUNEAU, Alaska – The Alaska Supreme Court has decided that underage girls can get abortions without parental consent.

The ruling drew praise from Planned Parenthood as well as the ire of some lawmakers and Gov. Sarah Palin, who called the decision "outrageous."

2. Sarah believes that abortions should be performed

only when a doctor states that the life of the mother is at risk.

She does not believe in abortion in cases of rape or incest.
