From the Corner at National Review Online<\/p>\n
As National Review<\/em>‘s in-house demography bore, I’ve been struck this last week by the left’s fierce hostility to Sarah Palin’s fecundity. One gentleman – well, okay, maybe not a “gentleman” but certainly an impeccably sensitive progressive new male – wrote to me from Shelton, Washington:<\/p>\n This abortion prohibitionist hag won’t cut it among women with brains.<\/span>And BTW she is a good example of reproduction run amok. 5 kids; 1 retard. I wonder if the bitch ever heard of getting spayed.<\/span> <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Each to her own, Mister Sensitive. You can be a 44-year old mother of five expecting her first grandchild and serving as Governor of Alaska. Or you can be, like Martha Stewart’s daughter Alexis<\/a>, a 43-year old single “career woman” hosting a satellite radio show and spending $28,000 a month on “intracytoplasmic sperm injection” in hopes of becoming pregnant. Every woman has the “right to choose” her own path through life, but it’s a lazy assumption to take for granted that most Americans find Sarah Palin’s choices as freakish as our metropolitan elites do.<\/p>\n What was it the feminists used to say? “You can have it all.” Sarah Palin is a mom, and the first female governor of her state. But the enforcers at the National Organization of Women dismiss her as “more a conservative man than she is a woman<\/a>“.<\/p>\n Golly. These days, NOW seems to have as narrow and proscriptive a view of what women are permitted to be as any old 1950s sitcom dad. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" From the Corner at National Review Online As National Review‘s in-house demography bore, I’ve been struck this last week by the left’s fierce hostility to Sarah Palin’s fecundity.
