re: #8 Charles Johnson

No options for her. There’s only one thing she can do.

And lucky for her she’s in a financial position to be able to handle all this.

From Guttmacher Institute:

Women with family incomes below the federal poverty level ($18,530 for a family of three) account for more than 40% of all abortions.[32] They also have one of the country’s highest abortion rates (52 per 1,000 women). In contrast, higher-income women (with family incomes at or above 200% of the poverty line) have a rate of nine abortions per 1,000, which is about half the national rate.

[…]

Most women identify multiple reasons for having an abortion: Three-fourths cite concerns for or responsibility to other individuals, including children; three-fourths say they cannot afford a child; three-fourths say that having a baby would interfere with work, school or the ability to care for dependents; and half say they do not want to be a single parent or are having problems with their husband or partner

I would hope that this would cause reflection from the Palin clan and maybe a little empathy for those in a less fortunate situation than they are….but I doubt it
