Palin's profile and positions on the issues





• In August 2008 she strongly opposed the embryonic stem cell research. She said, "My personal opinion is we should not create human life, create an embryo and then destroy it for research, if there are options out there."

• She once wrote, "I believe that no matter what mistakes we make as a society, we cannot condone ending an innocent's life."

• Sarah Palin was opposed to abortion whatever the case, except if the life of the mother was at stake. When talking of rape victims she said "I would counsel to choose life, and persuade them to choose life for their babies."

• She was of the opinion that Roe v. Wade should definitely be reversed and the decision should be given to the respective states.

• In reply to one of the questions from Kate Couric of CBS news, she stated "I am pro-life and I am unapologetic in my position that I am pro-life."

• When asked by Couric what the governor thought about the morning after pill she is stated to have said, "I am all for contraception. And I am all for preventive measures that are legal and safe and should be taken, but I am one to believe that life starts at the moment of conception. And I would like to see fewer and fewer abortions in this world."

• Sarah Palin was strongly against sex education programs that do not embrace abstinence, and said that she does not agree to the distribution of contraceptives in schools using the dollars paid by taxpayers.

Former Governor of Arkansas
Mike Huckabee






• Michael Dale Huckabee is against abortion as he strongly feels that life starts in the womb itself and it is each and every one's duty to do all that you can to nurture that precious tiny life growing inside you.

• He strongly agrees that it will surely benefit America if the Roe v. Wade is repealed.

• Michael opposes embryonic stem cell research as he believes that it is not really right to give a life to end one.

• He once stated that "I would support and be willing to lead a Human Life amendment to the constitution."

• Michael Huckabee supports defunding of planned parenthood.

• He agreed to sign an anticipated legislation to forbid all abortion apart from any danger the mother's life may be in. He believes that life is a gift from God and we have no right to end it.

• He strongly stands for the elimination of public funding for abortion organizations which support or conduct abortions.

• He declared that "I am pro-life but I know not everyone agrees with me on the topic and I respect that. But in this day in which we talk about choice and the importance of it, surely we can agree that if under the Supreme Court choice is mandated, that choice should be as educated a choice as is humanly possible."
