People are saying that Palin is for contraception if abstinence is not followed.
Where is that coming from?

I thought she was strictly anti-birth control...

1. That's bullshit. They're spinning it and trying to repackage her.
Anyone could watch the spectacle in her church to see what she believes... She is a religious extremist who opposes birth control, even for married couples. And asbolutely does not believe that contreception is okay if you aren't abstinent (because she belives that unless you're married, you should NOT be having sex)

Don't fall for it.

2. She is for birth control. McCain isn't.
But she likes to push abstinence first.

4. She might be for contraception, but she's against the education to use it. nt

6. No. She's against explicit sex ed. Not all sex ed.
Though I have no idea what shes referring to specifically with "explicit" sex ed.

3. Was she for it before or after her daughter got pregnant?
People are just flat out lying when it comes to Palin's record.

5. She is pro-contraceptives and anti "explicit" sex ed

according to the 2006 Gov campaign positions.

I don't know what she considers "explicit" but people have been attaching hard core fundie positions to her, and that seems to be contrary to her actual views.
