Sarah Palin's Life-Affirming Message

Today I shared some analysis of Sarah Palin in terms of life issues via email exchange with a pro-life group. I submit it below for readers.

With respect to the voice she brings to all those who are affected in life issues, the power of Sarah Palin is in the fact that she is a pro-life mom and career woman. Though she has never sought to make these things the core part of her public message, her status as both a political giant and a pro-life mom are unquestionably the reason that the 'news' most generated in our pro-abortion culture continues to center around stories that seek to cast some sort of doubt on her motherhood. Palin, just by virtue of who she is and who she can become in our society, has the power to utterly destroy the argument that women must kill their babies if they are to have any hope of greatness. Merely by being a life-affirming, successful woman, Palin exposes the lie that abortion liberates women. Even further, she has embraced a child who has a disability which prompts roughly 90% of other women in the same circumstances to reject the child. Either consciously or unconsciously, pro-abortion forces who now dominate America's public discourse, in contrast to America's true underlying culture, seek to destroy Sarah Palin because of her clear and shining example that their ideology is, in fact, oppressive to the dignity of both women and children. If the notion survives, whether through Sarah Palin herself, or perhaps in years to come in the achievements of a young lady now inspired by her, that a life-affirming woman can achieve great things, the pro-abortion argument will lie in ashes in the pages of history.
