So Palin made a choice to bring her pregnancy to term, knowing that she was carrying

[question everything]

a child with Down Syndrome. Good for her. She made her choice.

And McCain is against abortion.

But where do the two of them stand about birth control pills? IUDs?

That Palin had a child with Down Syndrome is sad but not surprising. The chances of this grow with the age of the mother. So what will the Palins do now? Exercise birth control? Risk the birth of another Down Syndrome child, or... abstain?

This is not sticking my nose into the private life of others. As the Bush administration is ready to declare birth control bills "abortive agents," as insurance companies do not cover birth control pills (but do Viagra), as independent pharmacists refuse to fill birth control prescriptions (not to mention Plan B) I think that the voters need to know where the candidates stand.

As a matter of fact, I think that Obama should declare that one of his first executive orders will be to reverse this directive.
