Sarah Palin to speak in Waco September 14

*
According to a Waco Tribune Herald report, Care Net of Central Texas CEO Deborah McGregor told the paper Friday that it was Sarah Palin’s personal history with pregnancy, not her rock star status, that compelled the nonprofit group to book the former governor to speak at its September banquet:

“She’s a perfect candidate,” McGregor said, pointing to Palin’s decision to continue her pregnancy with her youngest child, Trig, after he was prenatally diagnosed with Down syndrome. Palin wrote about her decision to go ahead with the pregnancy in her memoir, “Going Rogue.”

“And she had a teen daughter (Bristol) who carried out a pregnancy,” McGregor said.

Palin’s story illustrates how for women facing pregnancies, “when you have support, it can have a positive outcome,” McGregor said. And “that’s what Care Net does — it offers support to women.”

The Tribune Herald reported Gov. Palin’s scheduled appearance in its Thursday edition. The banquet will be held September 14 at the Baylor Ferrell Center. We're waiting for ticket information to be announced. The CareNet website is here.
