JUNEAU, AK – Alaska Governor and Republican Vice Presidential Candidate Sarah Palin announced plans to build the Sarah Palin Home for Unwed Mothers in Juneau in an article to be printed in next month’s issue of Vogue Magazine.Concerned that there may be many homeless Alaskan daughters sharing the same plight as Bristol, her 17-year-old unwed daughter, Governor Palin announced that she would be recommending to the State Legislature that a portion of the federal funds that had previously been earmarked for “The Bridge to Nowhere” be used to house homeless unwed mothers in restored abandoned buildings in the state’s capital.
“This is consistent with the Republican Party’s platform that abstinence is the only birth control method that should be taught to our children, and that all life is sacred, and all pregnant women should be required to carry their pregnancies to term, regardless of the circumstance, even if they were raped or the victims of incest.
“When Senator McCain and I are sworn into office next January, we will be proactively lobbying state legislatures to provide housing with federal funds for the millions of unwed mothers that will surely remain pregnant after our newly-appointed Supreme Court overturns Roe v Wade.” Palin opined.
“I will also be asking Congress to provide federal funds for their children in the Sarah Palin Act for unwed Women’s Newborns (SPAWN), a bill that will provide funding for the rearing and education of the more than three million more unwanted children that will be born in the year following the demise of Roe. Since, statistically, older women who become pregnant, including those who are raped, and young women who are the victims of incest have a significantly higher chance of having a child with special needs, I have also asked Congress to quadruple funding to provide for the more than 200,000 special needs children that will be born to this group” the Governor promised.
“In addition, I will be asking Congress to provide federal funds to the states in the amount of $75,000 per year, per child, to provide for the special education, healthcare and transportation required for these children to have a quality life, and become mainstream members of society. The funding that I am requesting is $15,000,000,000 for Fiscal Year 2009, an amount equal to the financial burden that these ’special’ children will have on the economy.”
