Ow, my back. *wince*

-- Shame on the mainstream media, when the women from The View are the ones asking the hard-hitting questions of John McCain. Yes, even Elisabeth Hasselbeck, whom I hate with a passion.

-- I can't contain my rage at the story that Governor Palin wanted rape victims to pay for their own rape kits, which is so appallingly offensive I can't even think of anything to say to that.

On the other hand, am I the only one who gets extremely uncomfortable whenever her decision to carry a Down's baby to term is used as evidence of her hypocrisy regarding a woman's right to choose? Granted, every pregnancy should be a woman's decision to continue or not, but ... a Down's baby? Really?

-- My back is still killing me. I need to go soak in the tub for a while. Ow.

I just find the whole bit a tad offensive in that she's using the kid as an election point. "Aren't I a wonderful person to have a baby with Down's?" No, no she isn't. She preaches against abortion. It would make her more hypocritical had she made any other option. Because of who I am, I'm actually a big supporter of keeping disabled children. But I resent parents who use their disabled children to score sympathy votes.
