Pro-Life and Family Values

http://voices.washingtonpost.com/the-trail/2008/09/02/palin_slashed_funding_to_help.html

As governor of Alaska, Sarah Palin used her veto power to slash funding for teenage moms, women and children living in poverty, and families in need of assistance. I respect her pro-life position, to a great extent, I share it (though I'd make wider exceptions for the well-being of the woman involved) -- but I cannot conscience calling these types of programmatic cuts "pro-life" or "family values."

Did you see/hear/read any of the interview last night with Palin? I'm scared.

Also, Matt Damon ripped into her a little bit. It's on youtube and I liked it quite a bit. He compared her potential presidency to a "bad Disney movie." ;-)
