This Sarah Palin I like

We know her from her outing as the Republican nominee for vice president in the 2008 US presidential election. Our impression of her has hardly been positive with the Americans loudly and constantly mocking her apparently limited knowledge of history and geography, her home-grown style of functioning and numerous faux pas.

Well, I recently saw a CNN interview with Sarah Palin and really liked the person that came through there. When the outspoken politician was asked about the Ohio state bill that would bar women from getting abortions solely because they do not wish to have a baby with Down Syndrome, you could see that she answered from her heart.

Sarah Palin has a son, Trig, with Down Syndrome and she spoke up passionately citing her own experience. "There is some fear there of the unknown. Certainly, there was fear in my heart about how in the world are we going to be able to handle the challenges up ahead, not necessarily thinking of the beauty that could come from a child being different, being unique,” she said.

"They're amazing, wonderful kids," she added. "They teach us more than we're ever going to be able to teach them."

She urged the Ohio lawmakers to pass the bill, saying “I don't think because the child has one extra chromosome they should be able to snuff that life out.”

She also said that she would do whatever she could to help parents facing such challenges to let them know that they can do it and that it’s beautiful. 

I like that, Sarah Palin!

Watch the interview……..



Something else I liked about that interview was the way the CNN anchor gave the time to Sarah Palin to speak about an important issue that was obviously dear to her heart. There were no rude interruptions or loudly cutting in to change the subject………are you listening Indian TV?
