Palin Like Bush Likes You Preggers
By Tim Einenkel

In July of 2008, the New York Times ran a story on the Bush Administration’s Department of Health and Human Services plan to place new restrictions on family planning programs. The new laws would redefine abortion by including many types of birth control, including the "morning-after pill." The plan defined abortion as follows:

“Any of the various procedures — including the prescription, dispensing and administration of any drug or the performance of any procedure or any other action — that results in the termination of the life of a human being in utero between conception and natural birth, whether before or after implantation.”

When Palin served as mayor of tiny Wasilla, Alaska, she refused to fund rape kits and passed a law to charge the victims of rape between $300 to $1,200 apiece for the tests.

Why would a public servant do such a thing? Is Palin so far to the right, that she took Bush’s anti-conception dream and made it a reality in her small town of Wasilla?

Hekebolos, from the Daily Kos, believes he has found the answer.
