What Happened to Family Values?

You don't get it!! Believing that the embryo is a living human being cannot be compromised. It is absurd to say "the vailability of legal abortion actually supports...family structure...." If a pro-choice person were on the Republican ticket it would negate the possibility of many pro-life people voting for that ticket.

When the GOP held its Alaska caucus on Feb. 5, Palin didn't bother to endorse a candidate, despite personal appeals from Huckabee and Mitt Romney, her fellow social conservatives. She had never met or spoken to John McCain.

But she indignantly dismissed his opposition to drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge as the politically correct???yet wrong???position of "Eastern politicians." Palin finally got the chance to meet McCain at a gathering of Republican governors in Washington, D.C., in mid-February. Weeks later, even after the other Republican contenders had dropped out of the race, Palin still had not endorsed McCain.

Preparing to go onstage March 3 in Los Angeles, at NEWSWEEK's Women's Leadership Forum, Palin was eager to quiz another governor, Janet Napolitano of Arizona, on her impressions of her state's senior senator. Palin said she still had "a lot of questions" to get answered about her party's presumptive nominee before she could back him.

Roe V. Wade, Teen Pregancy & Abortion

Forget the "Juno" scenario???in the real world, few unwed mothers give up their babies for adoption.

If you do not allow teenage girls who accidentally become pregnant to have abortions, you are demanding that they either raise their children as single mothers or that they marry in shotgun weddings. By the numbers, neither alternative is promising. Unmarried teenage moms seldom get much financial or emotional support from the fathers of their babies. They tend to drop out of high school, go on the dole and are prone to lives of poverty, frustration and disorder.

BIG NOTE: Only 2 percent of them make it through college by the age of 30. The Bristol Palin option doesn't promote family happiness, stability or traditional structure, either. Of women under 18 who marry, whether because of pregnancy or not, nearly half divorce within 10 years, double the rate for those who wait until they're 25.

Alaska has the highest high school dropout rate in the entire country. I wonder if it has anything to do with teen pregnancy. It is an extremely conservative state, maybe the most conservative of all 50, on tax policies and social issues. Teen pregnancy may be more acceptable there because the evangelical movement is very anti-abortion.

I've been reading about Alaska since Palin got the nomination and it's a very different type of state from what I thought about it. It is a very wealthy state - oil wealth and there are no state or local taxes. This has affected water and sewer systems in some areas (no local funding due to no taxes, except property taxes) so they have sought earmarks and federal funding of state projects like building roads and improving sewer systems. Americans on average receive about 31 dollars per person in federal dollars, residents in some states receive more or less but Alaska receives the most per capita, over 300 dollars per person, ten times more than the national average. Their average household family income is one of the highest at $59,393, in the top ten of all states - they ranked 7th in 2007. I was surprised such a wealthy state received so much extra federal dollars. Their higher education stats are low and with their dropout rate, their emphasis on education appears to be slight.

I don't get this. There are some places in America that doctors are killing babies after they are born. Abortion usually takes place before birth. After it is born, you are suggesting that the doctors in some states ask if you want to keep the baby or abort. And if at that time you say abort- he kills it. The Born Alive Infant Protection Act would have protected the baby. I have news for you. Murder is illegal in all 50 state and territories. We don't need a new law for that.

I expect as much stupidity from Newsweek.

thee two issues are completely separate. The idea that single women and children are having children of their own does not mean the conservatives are abandoning their values. Aborting unwanted fetuses would be abanoning their pro-life stance. the answer is to help educate these woman without resources like . Murphy Brown's and help them cope with their newborns. Aborting a fetus for convenience sake is not a conservative value and should not be. The more significant point is that these children are NOT DEAD. not that the only way they should be allowed to live is if they are brought into the world by a married couple. So good try Mr. Weissburg, but your reasoning is totally flawed. sesgvgc@yahoo.com
