Note, there is a diary posted on Daily Kos with a stunning revelation of BabyGate<\/a><\/strong><\/span>. Apparently Sarah Palin kept her pregnancy secret from her entire staff, and was never actually photographed pregnant. I don’t mean nudes! I mean at the numerous public appearances made by a governor. I say apparently…I would be happy to publish a photo of a recently pregnant Mrs. Palin if anyone can cowboy one up. Thanks, Jamie, for this link.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

This was sent by Joan<\/strong><\/a>. Don’t worry, I don’t think it’s real, just hilarious.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

One of my blogger friends, a real blogger, the political kind, wrote to me at about midnight last night and suggested that I follow the Sarah Palin story from hour to hour. I’m home today writing horoscopes and I lapsed in my tracking of the news. In that time, an interesting story popped out of the ethers: Sarah Palin’s 17-year-old-daughter Bristol is pregnant<\/strong><\/a>. This apparently came out when the elder Ms. Palin was accused of faking the birth of her latest child to cover for her daughter. No, they are both in the family way.<\/p>\n

Now, you may be thinking, why should we care? It’s their business. Here is why. So much of Republican “domestic policy” is so domestic that it goes right into the bedroom. That is the basis of it. If you could make a law that said politics had to stay off of our bodies, there would be no domestic platform.<\/p>\n

Let’s see, it all starts with abstinence-only sex indoctrination<\/a>, <\/strong>which makes a moral issue out of sex. No, it’s not about morality, it’s a biological and social issue. Then there is the high-pri agenda item of getting a justice on the Supreme Court who is willing to overturn Roe vs Wade<\/em>, the landmark decision granting women the right to privacy, and the corresponding right to choose an abortion if that’s what your values system allows.<\/p>\n

Certainly, it would not be any of your business what Bristol Palen and her family do about her pregnancy. Why should your pregnancy be any business of theirs?<\/p>\n

[Note, CNN is reporting<\/strong><\/a> that Palin<\/span> said when running for governor in 2006 that she would support funding for abstinence-only education in schools, according to Eagle Forum Alaska, a conservative group that sent a questionnaire asking gubernatorial candidates their views on a range of issues.]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
