I'll be adding to this as I come across more. Not meant to be comprehensive. I can't expect to document them all, there are so many.
Emphases are all mine.
From a statement issued on Monday Sarah and Todd Palin:
“We’re proud of Bristol’s decision to have her baby...."Bristol can make this choice even with legalized abortion.
Rick Scarborough, a pastor and the founder of the conservative advocacy group Vision America:“From what I see this family is dealing with it honorably. They are going to carry this baby to a full term as a further testimony of their commitment to life.” NYT 9/1/08. If abortion were illegal, they would not have the choice to be "honorable" and "testify" to their "commitment to life."
James C. Dobson, the founder of Focus on the Family ... commended her for “not just talking about their pro-life and pro-family values, but living them out even in the midst of trying circumstances.” NYT 9/1/08. So candidates should do more than just talk about their values: they should demonstrate them by having family members get pregnant and not have abortions?
