It is common sense why gay democrats would not like Sarah Palin. Just like you guys might not like Barack Obama because he is pro choice. Same thing
When has Palin "shoved her religious viewpoints" on anybody? She is a politician, governor in this case, not a minister.

And you are very correct about that. See...unlike most places, in Alaska State workers who are living together with another person (regardless of sex) are allowed worker benefits to cover the other person. These benefits (health insurance, living quarters on campus, etc.) are paid for by the employee, and the rest by the State. It's the same for me in that I pay for the health coverage of my wife and dependent children. She does not agree with same-sex marriage, just like most Alaskans (including myself) don't, but still, she follows the laws of the State in relation to State workers.

Don't you know that if someone dares to even speak about their religious convictions, they are "shoving their religion down others throats," at least according to the liberals?

Unlike you guys, I will admit when something is wrong and cannot be denied. I can be persuaded by LOGIC and FACTS unlike you people who are so blinded by your "faith" and such!
As evidenced by your relentless rants about Christmas.

I'd suggest that all you medical professionals, who are so concerned about the health of pregnant women, should open up a free clinic. You need to volunteer your time, money and other resources. Surely people in the medical field can afford to do this.

And to do anything less is hypocritical, right?


So... You DO work at least 20 hours per week at a free clinic, right? A clinic that provides free health care to every pregnant woman who wants it?

I've read your rants here, and frankly, you do a LOT more shoving of your religious viewpoints on people than Sarah Palin ever has. If you weren't so blinded by your hatred of Christianity, you'd see that.

Only if that person is a Christian.

If the person is a Muslim, or Wiccan, or Atheist (yes, atheism is a religion), it's viewed as something entirely different.

[quote=jojajn;6808853]I thought this topic is worthy of its own thread.

Palin's 17 year old daughter just delivered a baby. She is not married.

I am wondering if the baby's healthcare is covered under Gov. Palin's health insurance provided by the tax payers of her state. Should Bristol marry the father, both Bristol and baby would lose this healthcare coverage.

I doubt that Bristol or the baby's father have the means to provide the health insurance themselves.

I wonder if Sarah Palin has reconsidered what she has done to other mothers and children without healthcare in her state.

Are we forgetting Obama's platform was for Universal Health Care.....paying for everyone's babies?

Filet, I am an anesthetist not an obstetrician. Not a need for anesthesia at a free clinic as surgery is out of the question there. Should I provide obstetric services, I would be in trouble quickly with the state accreditation board.

However, my place of emplyment is VERY generous with charity care. We often receive people who are very ill and denied care elsewhere. This is how I have learned about the plight of people without health insurance.
