Palin’s nomination adds fuel to abortion debate
The abortion debate is gaining a higher campaign profile this year than in other recent general elections, partly because of divisive ballot measures and partly because of Sarah Palin . . .
“Baby Trig put a face on what we’ve been trying to say,” said Unruh, referring to Palin’s infant son. “There’s never been a role model for us as well-known as Sarah Palin.”
Another opponent of abortion, Connie Mackey of the Family Research Council, said Palin offered a potentially invigorating contrast to politicians who lent only rhetorical support to the anti-abortion cause.
