Couldn't have put it better myself.

It's not even just that. A woman should not be forced by governmental law to carry a child that she does not want; in
any situation. Palin wants women who have conceived through love, rape, or incest to birth that child. I would frankly
love to see her become pregnant as a result of a sexual crime and say with a straight face that she won't abort the fetus, or claim she wouldn't want to (I shouldn't wish that on anyone, but you understand my point). It's
emotionally devastating to look at yourself in the mirror and say, "Hey, I was forced against all my will to have sex, and now I have to look at the evidence every day." (I have so much more to say, but I promised myself I wouldn't rant. xD)
If for anything else, I believe our government should be Pro-Choice for safety reasons as well. Where there's a will there's a way; I know people who have beaten themselves up (e.g. slammed door knobs into their stomachs) to kill a fetus. Or drink heavily. Or take an unhealthy amount of Vitamin C. Women will find back-alley abortionists just to avoid the emotional turmoil of carrying a child they don't want, or was forced to conceive.
Make facilities available.
Anyways! Back to my original point. Palin = Barf.
