Pregnant? Out of state? Practice the Palin Method!

Just as the pundits predicted, America is falling in love with Sarah Palin, America's supermom -- and soon to be grandmom (and maybe even great-grandmom, depending on whether Bristol has a girl and how soon that girl becomes fertile). Palin, as we're finding out, is a "maverick," who "does things her own way." Including not only the way she runs a family, but the way she creates a family. Lost in the rumor about whether Palin had faked her last pregnancy was the true story of how Palin actually had her last child Tram Trim Trig.

While some choose natural childbirth, some choose Lamaze, and others choose traditional hospital arrangements, Palin chose to get on a plane after her water broke and fly from Texas to Alaska, with a stop in Seattle. Was it because she wanted to be closer to God? Or did she hear about Alaska Airlines Northern Bites® Hearty Picnic Pack ($5)? Nobody knows, but, hey, the baby's alive, so the gamble paid off. Plus, you don't get frequent flyer miles in Lamaze class, ladies.

Palin, as the country is about to learn, has lots of ideas about how you should run your life. Including the part that involves your vagina (lots of ideas about that area).

So if you're pregnant, and bored with the tired old risk-free method, try the Palin method...

This thought occurred to me also and for an obvious reason: she knew the result of the amniocentesis. Perhaps this is why she apparently "starved" the pregnancy too.

It's simply Palin proving her Republican frugality.

By keeping her bun in the oven during the trip home, Palin was able to avoid paying for the extra passenger ticket that a newborn would have required.

The really really cynical side of me wonders if this was actually a convenient way to perhaps be rid of a child she didn't actually want. I mean, maybe she got second thoughts and in a moment of weakness decided that this would be a way to destroy the baby without the moral conflict of having a real abortion.

It's a really horrible thought but it's either that or she was just incredibly stupid.

What is worse, if abortions actually became illegal, this is the sort of stupid thing some women would actually do to be rid of an unwanted child.

Again, that's just the really really cynical side of me playing devil's advocate. I'm far more comfortable just believing she's incredibly stupid.
