Palin model for anti-abortion movement

WASHINGTON, Dec. 4 (UPI) -- Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, the mother of a Down syndrome son, has been embraced as a model in the anti-abortion movement, leaders say.

Greg Mueller, a veteran anti-abortion political insider, said Palin shows anti-abortion supporters "that there's great joy in special needs kids --and that we shouldn't be aborting them," Politico reported Friday.

Palin, 45, on a book-signing tour for her memoir, "Going Rogue," has brought along 19-month-old Trig as she travels from book store to book store -- a move that has generated positive feedback, said Jason Recher, a former campaign aide.

"There's a lot of people who come through the line to see Trig instead of to see her," Recher said.

Your body, your choice - from abortion to where you choose to eat or drink or work or smoke.

Choice over what you do with your body. I support it. Do you?

3. I am sure there would be fewer abortions of Down Syndrome fetuses

If the mother could be guaranteed to have what Sarah Palin has had or has presently: free government run health care, a full staff of household help in her taxpayer funded public housing, and then after quitting that job, a multimillion dollar book deal.

5. Never, never underestimate her as a plausible candidate in 2011 -

If you do you are making one helluva mistake. The more she is in the public eye, the more popular she becomes.It will take more than a Levi Johnson to put her down.

I do despise that woman!!!

4. Flip-flop.

For years, she has been a convincing argument for abortion.

7. Considering how she kept foisting Trig off on her daughter during the campaign

I don't see her being much of a hands-on mother. Right now, the kid is probably not much different than any other 1-year-old. I don't see her wanting to put in any extra effort when the special needs of her special needs baby kicks in.
