Basically, he wants to end funding for Planned Parenthood because they offer abortion services. He says that because people are aborting their first kids, they are having children with disabilities as "punishment".

The target audience:

OK, I just thought that no one cared what Sarah Palin thought. Carry on.

Well, that's just not the case, Mr. Joshua. I would venture to say there are a few million Americans who do - an estimated 2.7 million copies of "Going Rogue" have already sold.

The press has a field day with her every burp and sneeze.

Number one, the gentlemen who made the remarks being commented on, and then suggesting that 'disabled kids are a punishment from God', should be taken somewhere and tied to a chair and made to listen to the parents of disabled kids 'til his brain goes into overload...honestly, I know quite a few folks who are Christians, and this idiot shmendrick gives them a bad name...

Secondly, I understand your disagreeing with MrJoshua, as is your right, but I have to side with him---I would say I'm one of those who doesn't particularly care for Mrs Palin...same as there are a growing legion of folks who don't care for the current President or his cabinet, to draw a parallel...

Her every 'burp and sneeze' is fodder for the press, same as the President and his kith and kin, because she has made the choice to put herself in the public eye, by speaking at various functions, working for Fox News, being an author ('Going Rogue')...the list goes on...therefore, those who care for her and support her, continue to make themselves heard, as do those who don't---that's just the way it is, no matter which side you happen to be on
