Right-to-Lifers Thrilled with Sarah Palin Pick as McCain’s VP

It is a big surprise — but a wonderful one. Governor Sarah Palin of Alaska is an ardent right-to-lifer. Proof positive of that came with the recent birth of her fifth child. Palin learned the child she was carrying had Down syndrome. Unphased, Palin didn’t even remotely consider abortion which is the fate of over 90% of children diagnosed in utero with this condition.

McCain himself has been very positive about his right-to-life convictions. People will remember well the Saddleback Church interviews where both candidates were asked when does a child receive human rights. Obama gave an incredibly lame response — siad it was “above his pay grade.” McCain didn’t hesitate, responding “at the moment of conception.”

In a radio address this past Saturday, McCain said: “If I am President, advancing the cause of life will not be above my pay grade.” McCain also took Obama to task for his infanticide votes as an Illinois state senator.

It’s great to have a complete team that right-to-lifers can wholeheartedly support!
