According to Politico http://www.politico.com/news/stories/1109/29267.html ,
Sarah Palin held a fundraiser in West Allis, Wisconsin last night and attempted
to convince thousands of supporters that legislators with pro-choice views might
have "the mindset" that leads them to deny insurance coverage for the elderly.
You see, in Palin's eyes, anyone who supports a woman's right to choose
apparently might have "the mind-set" that allows them to pull the plug on
Grandma or force women to terminate pregnancies if the baby is not, in Palin's
words "normal or perfect." It is, of course, another attempt on Palin's behalf
to scare the shit out of people with her "death panel" nonsense, and her attempt
to step it up a notch by tying in her stance on abortion rights (or, rather,
lack thereof) just makes things more repulsive. "In order to save government
money, government health care has to be rationed," Palin told the crowd, "[so]
than this elderly person that perhaps could be seen as costing taxpayers to pay
for a non-productive life? Do you think our elderly will be first in line for
limited health care?"
Palin also took the time to drop this laughable statement: "It is so bogus that
society is sending a message right now and has been for probably the last 40
years that a woman isn't strong enough or smart enough to be able to pursue an
education, a career and her rights and still let her baby live." You know what
else is bogus? That Sarah Palin continues to position herself as a savior of
women's rights when her entire platform essentially rests on taking them away.
