Palin Misquotes Albright - Place In Hell Reserved For Women Who Don't Support Other Women
But Madeline Albright was not running for office and I am sure would have never used the statement during an election!
Women will support someone who cares about their issues –
On a personal level – Palin has a pregnant daughter – but slashed funds for teen mothers – good thing then that the Palin’s have enough resources to take care of their teenage daughter who’s pregnant. Ju-know!
The right to choose – if Palin has her way – abortion may be criminalized – then the law will have to decide how long women will have to spend behind bars for the crime. Can you say Iran?
CSPAN footage – Palin says she would outlaw abortion – given the chance.
The rape kit issue was truly shameful – after a woman has been raped – she is charged for the kit – so that the police can then go about doing their job of catching the guy – and of course if you can’t afford the kit….seems Palin did not care.
Palin’s record shows – she doesn’t support women – maybe her ‘support me (women) or else’ – might apply to her own self.
Palin’s religious stance is to narrowly focused – and therefore comes across as arrogant.
Where the Democrats are saying – if you don’t want to have an abortion – don’t have one! There are other options – like adoption – but the women’s right to choose remains.
Young people who get pregnant shouldn’t be scorned or left in hardship – we should focus on them like an arrow – because that is now two children – so likely won’t go after already scant funding for teen mothers. What was worst about Palin’s slashing of funding – was that the service was provided by the church.
Palin runs with McCain – who doesn’t support equal pay for equal work, who voted against a bill led by Biden – for the protection of women from spousal abuse.
Carly Fiorina pointed out that McCain – supported bills to fund Viagra – but voted against bills that supported women’s issues.
On women’s issues the Palin/McCain ticket get a thumbs down.

At a rally today in California, Gov. Sarah Palin offered up a rather jarring argument for supporting the Republican ticket. “There’s a place in Hell reserved for women who don’t support other women,” the Alaska Governor said, claiming she was quoting former Clinton Secretary of State Madeleine Albright.
The statement came after Palin had recounted a “providential” moment she experienced on Saturday: “I’m reading on my Starbucks mocha cup, ok? The quote of the day… It was Madeleine Albright, former Secretary of State [crowd boos] and UN ambassador. … Now she said it, I didn’t. She said, ‘There’s a place in Hell reserved for women who don’t support other women.'”
Actually, Albright didn’t say that. The real quote is, “There’s a place in Hell reserved for women who don’t help other women.” (Sources made the same point to CBS’s Scott Conroy.)
Palin seemed to realize that the line could be viewed as grating. As the audience cheered, she remarked: “Okay, now, thank you so much for receiving that well. I didn’t know how that was gonna go over. And now, California, let’s see what a comment like I just made, how that is turned into whatever it’ll be turned into tomorrow with the newspaper.”

“Support” is ‘help”.
“No support’ is “no help”
Fact:-
If those women who do not support Palin are because they support “baby killing”, of course they will go to hell.

This is an election – in a country that maintains the separation between church and state –
For that reason no one should be threatened in anyway – with hell or other religious punishment ‘via God’ in order to get the vote.
If a person believes in a particular issue – like yourself in pro-life then you are welcome to support Sarah – but likewise the rest of us have the right – to be suspicious of her intentions – to question her record and not support her.
Otherwise we run the risk of becoming like Iran – where its so controlled by the religion – not to show support for the leader is to go against God!
And besides – Sarah would have an abortion – if she thought she was going to lose her life – this is a choice too – so if Sarah Palin can choose then other women should also have a choice.

Pitbull Palin Mauls McCain « Out Foxing Karl Rove
[…] is Palin’s coldness or detachment from emotion. You can see an example of this in her answer here – when she was asked on abortion and what if her teenage daughter was raped and become pregnant – […]

There is no hell except the hell on earth that is created whenever Republicans are in the White House.
Hell is a silly idea for silly people who believe silly superstitious things. They shouldn’t be allowed to have a license to drive a car if they believe in the existence of hell. It’s shameful for a full grown adult to be in such denial of reality.

Hell! You say?
In the beginning God created Heaven and earth. (Gen chap 1)
When did he create Hell?
If before adam’s creation, did he expect Adam may go there?
(Prejugment, or little faith?)
If after, well, the bible says that the creation was complete on the sixth day.
OK, supposing he did create Hell. Where is it?
Adam was told that if he ate of the fruit he would die.
Why did God not say – No, you will not die – you will fry!
Moses put before the people the choice of life or death. (Deut 30:15)
Did he fail to speak about death?
No, only sadistic so-called Christians will tell you this without any scriptural backing.
God said that burning people in fire never came up in his mind. (Jer 7:31)
So who’s mind, do you think it was born? Yes, TV Preachers that need your money to live in luxury, while you live in fear.
