COLUMBUS — Officially, the Ohio Right to Life rally on Friday, March 5, was billed as a nonpartisan event, but that didn’t stop many of Sarah Palin’s 4,000 fans in attendance from wearing Palin 2012 buttons and McCain-Palin T-shirts.
Kimberly Mohr Christman, sporting a Palin 2012 button and a personally designed Palin T-shirt, called the former Alaska governor an inspirational leader for women.
“If Sarah Palin comes to Perry County, I’ll be right there to help her,” Mohr Christman said.
Palin couldn’t have found a more welcoming crowd.
“I used to not want a woman president but since Sarah came along, I do. Because of her moral convictions,” said Elizabeth Branson of Grove City.
Just before the rally, Palin attended a private $1,000 per ticket reception with donors, including Republicans such as Ohio GOP Chairman Kevin DeWine, state Sen. Jon Husted and former U.S. Sen. Mike DeWine.
Ohio Right to Life declined to disclose Palin’s speaking fee — reported to be in the neighborhood of $100,000 — but at the end of her 45-minute speech Palin promised to donate it back to the nonprofit.
Palin urged the crowd to action on abortion issues in Congress and the Statehouse, and trashed the media for criticizing her for putting notes on her hands.
The mother of five recalled how at 43 she found herself pregnant with a child with Down syndrome and then a short while later learned her teenage daughter was pregnant. Palin said those two experiences gave her more empathy for women with unplanned pregnancies who face difficult decisions. But she added, “There is no accident. Every child has purpose.”
The former Alaska governor was introduced to the world at Wright State University 18 months ago when Republican presidential candidate John McCain named her his running mate.
Since then Palin became a grandmother, quit the governor’s job, fought off ethics complaints, published her memoir, struck a deal for a second book, landed work as a Fox News commentator and positioned herself for a possible presidential run in 2012.
At least one person there said she wants Palin gain more political and foreign policy experience before going to the White House.
“I want to see her progress. I want to watch her grow up,” said Linda Hollopeter of Pickerington.
I think you should read his profile and past posts before you start calling others in.
My search isn’t working, is yours? If so, what does his “history” look like?
That’s a troll question, ergo, you are a troll. I’m sure a “president” Palin is not seeking to punish women who seek an abortion, which is what the left accuses the pro-life movement of all the time. On the other hand, if that’s what you are advocating, you are hurting the pro-life movement. You might place clever statements on your profile page, but as you arrived here less than a month ago, I’m not buyin’ what you’re peddlin’. Is that “specific” enough for you?
People should incur penalties for murdering babies.
Women are people.
Thus, women should incur penalties for murdering babies.
Click on "in forum" on his profile page.
I think if he took the quiz on your profile page he would get conservative 100%, like I did.
I could go over to DU, Huffington Post or similar and make them think I’m to the left of Leon Trotsky, that doesn’t make me a liberal, it means I’m somewhat intelligent and have an imagination.
Thus not making the question trollish, in my mind.
A thing isn’t really against the law if a group comprised of millions of people is allowed to do that thing with zero legal consequences.
That’s the paradoxical situation that you’re advocating when you contend that grown women should be exempt from liability for their own actions when they kill babies by abortion.
The woman who aborts has already been penalized for the rest of her life — every child she sees that would be the age of her tiny aborted one. — Just ask those women in SilentNoMore who suffer so much.
And when she can no longer bear children, her regret will still haunt her.
There will never be that living child to throw their arms around her mother’s neck and look up at her with pure innocence and say: I LOVE YOU, MOM!!
