Barack Obama and Sarah Palin's new grandchild

By the way, don't forget what Barack Obama said about abortion, with regard to his own children, in a debate earlier this year:

"When it comes specifically to HIV/AIDS, the most important prevention is education, which should include -- which should include abstinence education and teaching the children -- teaching children, you know, that sex is not something casual. But it should also include -- it should also include other, you know, information about contraception because, look, I've got two daughters. 9 years old and 6 years old. I am going to teach them first of all about values and morals. But if they make a mistake, I don't want them punished with a baby. I don't want them punished with an STD at the age of 16. You know, so it doesn't make sense to not give them information."

Is he going to hold to that? Does he think Bristol Palin and her mother are being "punished" with a baby? I don't think too many ordinary Americans see a baby as "punishment."

Conservatives should use this point.
