Let's say someone does something horrible to your family. Do you secretly wish you could murder them, but don't only because you have publicly spoken against murder in the past--or do you genuinely believe that murder is wrong, and the fact that you are in difficult circumstances doesn't change that?

We're still talking about politicians, aren't we? Because looking hypocritical is a pretty big concern when running for office.

Yes, I meant abortion--and adoption, and the daughter raising her child as a single parent. I don't think adoption is available as a hypocrite-free option to the conservative politician.

I'm not sure I understand what you're trying to prove with your analogy. Are you saying that Palin is so pure in her beliefs, that she could never regret her decisions leading up to her daughter's situation? Are you equating birth control with murder?
