IVA CALLS CHOICE OF PALIN “INSPIRED”
Boise – Statement from IVA Executive Director Bryan Fischer, on Sen. John McCain’s choice of Alaska Governor Sarah Palin to be his running mate:
“McCain’s pick of Gov. Palin is an inspired choice, especially because she is unapologetically pro-life and pro-marriage. Those are values which are shared by the vast majority of mainstream Idahoans.
“Gov. Palin has called abortion an ‘atrocity,’ and she helped Alaska pass the nation’s very first marriage amendment in 1998.
“When almost 90% of all Down’s Syndrome babies are destroyed in the womb, Gov. Palin proudly gave birth to her son Trig last spring, even after he was diagnosed with Down’s during her pregnancy.
“The contrast with Sen. Obama could not be greater. While Sen. Obama believes that unwanted babies can be put to death while still in the womb, Gov. Palin has shown by her example that all pre-born babies, even those with birth defects, deserve a chance at life.
“Gov. Palin was born and educated in the Gem State. Every Idahoan can be justly proud today that one of her native daughters may be the first woman in U.S. history to be one heartbeat away from the Oval Office.”
